Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, has said that it is impossible for the newly formed Coalition to defeat Tinubu.
Onanuga is convinced that the Tinubu/Shettima ticket is unbeatable, adding that not even the combination of Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi could threaten it.
Tinubu, Atiku and Peter Obi won 12 states each during the last presidential election, but Tinubu was declared winner for polling the highest votes, according to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
Ahead of the 2027 polls, there is a certain logic behind the coalition which is that the likes of Peter Obi and Atiku do not want to split their votes, which collectively beat Tinubu hands down in 2023.
It could be recalled that Tinubu got 37% of the votes in 2023, while Atiku and Obi combined got 54%.
Both parties feel that they may win on a joint ticket in 2027.
But Onanuga said that the All Progressives Congress, APC, does not feel threatened by any coalition.
"As far as the APC is concerned, we are not seeing the coalition as any threat.
"Even if you merge Peter Obi and Atiku together, there is no way the two of them can beat a Bola Tinubu and Shettima ticket; it is not going to be possible," Onanuga said on Thursday night during an interview on Arise News.
