2027: Tinubu's Shadow Looms Large
The drumbeats for 2027 are already deafening, and the APC's internal dynamics are the real story. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, despite his current incumbency, is the ghost at the feast. His legacy, and more importantly, his potential influence over the next flagbearer, casts a long shadow. Watch Kano closely. Governor Abba Yusuf's PDP is fighting to cement its grip, but the federal machinery the APC commands, even in opposition, is a formidable beast. Across the divide, Atiku Abubakar is licking his wounds, but the PDP's soul-searching is less about renewal and more about who inherits the mantle of perpetual opposition. Expect seismic shifts in their zoning arrangements. This isn't a polite negotiation; it's a desperate scramble for survival.
