2027: Obi, not Atiku, has better chance against Tinubu in 2027 – El-Rufai’s son, Bashir
Bashir El-Rufai, son of ex-Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai, has expressed that Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, has a stronger chance of defeating President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 elections.
In a Thursday post on X, El-Rufai argued that Obi, not former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, poses a greater electoral threat to Tinubu, especially if he selects a strong Northern running mate.

He added that Obi is also a bigger challenge for Atiku, citing Obi’s wide grassroots appeal and strong youth support.
He said …
“Atiku is a force to be reckoned with. He also feels the stars have finally aligned in his favor. And although 2019 is thought to had been his best shot, this may be one of those “moment meets the man”. However the sheer force of Obi’s numbers and cult like follower-ship brings a challenge. His appeal across the youth & this younger generation is one profound aspect of his leverage.
Obi as a flag bearer with a strong Northern candidate would defeat Pablo on Election Day before our dear mother of the Nation — Aunty Remi finishes his breakfast around 12 noon.”
