2027: You Can’t Beat The Master At His own Game – Keyamo Tells ADC, others

One of the most remarkable aspects of the political career of Bola Ahmed Tinubu is his rise from the trenches of opposition politics to the highest office in the country.

For many political observers, Tinubu’s journey represents one of the most strategic and resilient political transformations in Nigeria’s democratic history.

At a time when the then ruling Peoples Democratic Party dominated the political landscape, Tinubu stood as the only surviving opposition governor in the South-West following the 2007 elections.

While other opposition states in the region fell to the ruling party, Tinubu managed to maintain his political influence and gradually rebuild the opposition structure.

Tinubu’s ability to navigate the difficult terrain of opposition politics helped shape the modern structure of opposition movements in Nigeria.

Over the years, he played a significant role in building alliances that eventually contributed to the emergence of the All Progressives Congress, which went on to defeat the ruling party in the historic 2015 general elections.

That political development marked the first time an incumbent ruling party lost power at the federal level in Nigeria’s democratic history.

Supporters of Tinubu often argue that many of the strategies currently used by opposition groups today are drawn from methods he helped popularize during his years in opposition.

These strategies include coalition building, grassroots mobilization, and strategic political alliances.

Because of this long experience, some analysts believe that Tinubu understands the mechanics of opposition politics better than many of his current critics.

Political observers note that Tinubu’s decades of involvement in Nigerian politics—from his days as a pro-democracy activist during the military era to his tenure as Governor of Lagos State—have given him deep insight into political maneuvering and governance.

This experience, supporters argue, allows him to anticipate political strategies and respond to opposition moves effectively.

Despite the praise from supporters, Tinubu’s political approach continues to generate debate across Nigeria’s political landscape.

While admirers describe him as a master strategist who reshaped Nigeria’s opposition politics, critics maintain that the country’s political future will depend on how effectively democratic institutions evolve beyond individual personalities.
