Your eloquence won’t save you in 2027,Olujimi tells Obi

Olujimi

A former Deputy Governor of Ekiti State, Senator Biodun Olujimi, has told the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 elections, Peter Obi, that his eloquence in the past poll won’t work in 2027.

The former Minority Leader of the Senate thus said that Obi won’t pose a threat to the second-term bid of President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential poll.

Olujimi, who has just joined the All Progressives Congress from the Peoples Democratic Party, said when she appeared on a Channels Television programme: “Politics Today,” on Thursday: “The rhetoric of the last election will not work again, except he comes with another gimmick.

“And you see, this (Tinubu) is a politician, a man who knows the terrain well.”

Olujimi said with Tinubu’s political experience, it would be difficult to defeat him in 2027, adding: “This is the first time we are having a dyed-in-the-wool politician as president.

“He knows his onions; he knows all of us.

“He has been in the system for very long.

“It’s tough.

“This is a man who has worked with everyone, who has been useful to everyone, who has had opportunities to assist governments.

“Beating him?

“Uphill task.”

On why she joined the APC and not any other party, Olujimi said: “The APC we talked about in the past, the government that was in power then, is not the current one in power.

“There is a different APC now.

“This government is pragmatic.

“It’s resolute.

“It’s taking tough decisions and running with the decisions.

“It’s not like other governments – taking tough decisions and when people start to complain, dropping it and making them comfortable again, going back to the old ways.

“Rather, it’s taking the bull by the horns and moving on.

“And that is what I saw in the new APC.

“I am telling you that it is this government that made me join the APC, not any other.”
