Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ismaeel Ahmed, has stated that neither President Bola Tinubu nor the party is afraid of the opposition party ahead of the 2027 election.
Naija News reports that Ahmed, during an interview with Channels Television’s Politics Today on Tuesday, stated that Tinubu and the Vice President need to travel to various states to communicate with the people.
Speaking further, Ahmed cautioned against prematurely treating political opponents as threats, noting that the party’s energy should be invested in governance, not campaign strategy.
He said, “APC is not scared of any opposition… The President and Vice President need to move around states to communicate with the people.
“That’s why I said—why are we doing all this? Who is chasing us? Why are we running? Why are we responding to an opposition that is not even yet an opposition?
“I know the President well enough to say he encourages competition. He does not run away from it. He’s not scared of it at all. I understand that the party needs to rile up the base and get us moving in one direction—and there will be time for that. But right now is not the time for a campaign.
“We cannot, as a government, be responding to opposition. I think we should just take it easy, focus on governance, and drill down on what the President is doing.”
