"Prove me wrong that Tinubu won't be running against himself in 2027" — Barr. Ozehome challenges Nigerians

A Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Mike Ozekhome, has stirred fresh debate over the credibility of Nigeria’s electoral process ahead of the 2027 general elections.

In a viral video circulating on social media, the legal practitioner openly questioned the fairness of the upcoming polls, urging citizens to take action and prove him wrong.

Ozekhome stated, “I want to challenge Nigerians to do something to prove me wrong that Tinubu will not be running against himself in 2027.”

Growing Concerns About Electoral Integrity

The comment has reignited conversations about trust in Nigeria’s democratic system and the perceived imbalance in the political space.

Many Nigerians interpret his statement as a warning that the electoral process may not be competitive, particularly with Bola Ahmed Tinubu expected to seek re-election.
