House of Representatives member Abdulmumin Jibrin has expressed confidence that President Bola Tinubu will secure victory in the 2027 presidential election.
Jibrin, who represents Bebeji/Kiru Federal Constituency of Kano State under the New Nigeria Peoples Party made the remarks during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday.
He said, “Again, I believe I cannot see anything that will stop him from winning the elections in 2027. I did not say again; I am saying I believe. There’s no two ways about it. I am a Tinubu person. I like him and he likes me. Irrespective of party affiliation, it has been a great relationship.”
“I believe there’s nothing that will stop him from winning in 2027. I am a Tinubu person. I like him, and he likes me. Irrespective of party affiliation, it has been a great relationship,” he said.
Jibrin, once a close ally of Tinubu, served as Director-General of the Bola Tinubu Support Group Council.
He defected from APC to Kwankwaso’s NNPP in May 2022, citing internal disputes in the ruling party.
His recent visits to the Presidential Villa in August 2025 have reignited speculation that he shifted political alliances ahead of 2027.
Pressed on whether his loyalty to Tinubu would override his ties to NNPP leader Rabiu Kwankwaso, Jibrin said he will choose Kwankwaso, but prefers they work together.
“No, I’d choose Kwankwaso and Bola Tinubu to work together, but Tinubu as president.”
