Remi Oseni, a member of the House of Representatives for Ibarapa East/Ido Federal Constituency, has boldly declared that no political group or alliance can block President Bola Tinubu from winning re-election in 2027.
Oseni, a top figure of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State, made this statement during the inauguration of the Remi Oseni Committee of Friends Assembly Leaders. The event took place on Saturday in Ibadan, with leaders from all 33 local government areas of the state in attendance.
His remarks follow reports that a coalition of opposition parties has chosen the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as their joint platform for the 2027 elections. That coalition includes heavyweight politicians such as former Senate President David Mark, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate Peter Obi, former Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola, ex-Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, and former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi.
Oseni Says No Force Can Stop Tinubu in 2027 Despite Coalition
Despite the growing opposition alliance, Oseni firmly dismissed their chances of stopping Tinubu’s second-term bid.
“There is no force or coalition of political parties that can stop President Tinubu’s re-election in 2027,” he confidently declared. He also vowed that the APC would take back power in Oyo State.
“Whether I emerge as the governorship candidate or not, I will lead the charge to ensure our great party returns to power in this state,” Oseni said.
He also cited his strong showing in the last general election as proof of his influence. “What I did in Ido/Ibarapa speaks volumes. I’m the only one in the entire state who was not challenged in court after the election because of the overwhelming number of votes I polled. You don’t challenge a lion,” he added.
Oseni went further, stating, “I am also the only person across the country who delivered all polling units in my constituency for President Tinubu. That shows our strength and commitment.”
He Defends Tinubu’s Tough Choices
Oseni described the new committee as the start of a strong political movement aimed at uniting Oyo State and Nigeria under Tinubu’s leadership.
“Our number one agenda is delivering Oyo State for President Tinubu in 2027. Dear leaders, this is not just a political statement — it’s a declaration of partnership and support,” he told the gathering.
Oseni urged his supporters to rally behind Tinubu, praising the president’s controversial decision to remove the fuel subsidy.
“We must recognise the bold steps the President has taken, especially the courageous removal of the fraudulent petrol subsidy. While it has caused temporary hardship, it is a necessary sacrifice for long-term sustainability,” he said.
Quoting Tinubu, Oseni added, “To achieve greatness, one must be willing to endure temporary pain for future gain.”
Oseni said the subsidy removal would bring more investment into education, healthcare, and infrastructure. He called this moment a “transformation” for Nigeria.
“Nigeria is rising from the ashes of the past and redefining itself. We must stand with President Tinubu and support him on this transformative journey,” he said.
He also stressed that the committee would focus on justice, equity, accountability, good governance, shared prosperity, and sustainable growth to rebuild Oyo State and the country.
Bottom Line
Honestly, Remi Oseni’s speech feels more like loud political noise than genuine concern for the people. His bold claim that “no force or coalition” can stop President Tinubu in 2027 is nothing short of arrogant. Politics is unpredictable, especially in a country like Nigeria where alliances shift overnight. Oseni seems too confident, almost as if he’s already decided the election result before the people even vote. His statement sounds like someone trying to silence opposition, not someone ready to listen to what Nigerians are really going through. It’s easy to stand on a podium and declare loyalty, but Nigerians are watching—what matters most is not loyalty to Tinubu, but real solutions to their suffering.
Also, Oseni’s justification of Tinubu’s fuel subsidy removal shows just how disconnected he is from everyday Nigerians. It’s easy for him to talk about “temporary hardship” and “future gains” when he’s not the one buying petrol at outrageous prices or struggling to afford food. His speech praises Tinubu’s “bold” steps, but there’s little mention of the hunger, job losses, and daily struggles people face because of these policies. Nigeria’s problems won’t be solved by committees or political fan clubs; what the people need is action, not empty declarations of loyalty wrapped in fancy speeches. Oseni might see himself as a political lion, but many Nigerians are tired of politicians who roar loudly but deliver very little.
Oseni’s bold remarks have made it clear that he believes no political coalition can stop Tinubu from winning again in 2027. He openly declared that Tinubu’s second term is certain, and his loyalty to the president was obvious throughout his speech.
