Former Sports Minister Solomon Dalung has hinted at a potential 2027 presidential run, asserting that he could challenge President Bola Tinubu if he chooses.
Speaking on the political climate ahead of the next election, Dalung said, “We have so many people to challenge Tinubu; even I can decide to contest, and I will challenge him. We know Tinubu too well; we know his strategies — there is nothing new about what they [the APC] will do.”
Dalung emphasized that the decision on who will challenge Tinubu will rest with the Nigerian people through the membership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC). “We are going to conduct transparent primaries. Whosoever wins will challenge Tinubu,” he added.
The former minister’s comments signal the growing momentum among opposition figures ahead of the 2027 elections, highlighting internal party dynamics and the emphasis on democratic processes within the ADC.
