“Tinubu Will Hand Over to El-Rufai in 2027” — Loyalist Sparks Fresh Political Debate

The 2027 political conversation may have just kicked off earlier than expected — and it’s already stirring serious reactions 👀

A viral video currently making rounds online has put former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, right at the center of Nigeria’s next presidential debate.

In the short clip, a confident supporter boldly declared that Bola Ahmed Tinubu will hand over power to El-Rufai by May 2027 — a statement that has left many Nigerians talking.

“The journey has started,” the loyalist said — and just like that, the internet caught fire 🔥

But here’s the real issue…

There has been no official statement from El-Rufai confirming any presidential ambition. No party structure has openly backed this claim. And with opposition parties still battling internal divisions, many are questioning how realistic such a prediction really is.

Still, that hasn’t stopped Nigerians from jumping into the conversation.

Some believe it’s a sign of early political alignment happening behind the scenes 👀

Others say it’s nothing more than wishful thinking and propaganda

And then there’s the bigger question nobody is ignoring:

👉 With the current state of opposition politics, who is truly ready for 2027?

Because if one thing is clear — the race may not have officially begun, but the power play has already started quietly 💭
