Former Edo State governor, Adams Oshiomhole, says President Bola Tinubu will once again trounce former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi in the 2027 general elections.
He therefore dismissed the possibility of victory for both Atiku and Obi in the forthcoming presidential election.
Oshiomhole spoke amid speculation that Atiku and Obi might run on a joint ticket on the platform of the African Democratic Congress.
Oshiomhole, who was appearing as a guest on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, said both Atiku and Obi have a history of electoral defeat, whether they contest together or separately, and would face the same outcome if they unite again against President Bola Tinubu.
He said, “Did Atiku and Obi not run together before and contested against APC? You can throw any number you want to throw but the point is that when these two ran together, they were loudly defeated by APC. So why are you suggesting if the two, when they did before, what happened?
“You are the one who is recycling history. They have a history of being defeated together, and they have a history of being defeated apart. They ran together. They were defeated. They ran separately, they were defeated. If they come back together, very good. They will still be defeated.”
