The 2027 elections promises to be an interesting and historic one. As we speak, politicians and polictical parties alike are already mapping out strategies to unseat the Bola Tinubu-led government of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
But the question begging for an answer remains, has the end of the Tinubu era come?
Whether the time is here or not, Peter Obi’s Labour Party (LP) has vowed to send Tinubu and his party packing from Aso Rock.
In fact, the LP has backed these words with a new strategy targeted at ensuring victory for the party and unseating President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 elections.
The party disclosed that it has launched “Operation Recover and Redeem”, which is focused on resolving the internal crisis rocking the party and positioning it to win elections in 2027.
The move is spearheaded by the faction loyal to Nenadi Usman as the interim chairperson of the Labour Party.
The move was disclosed by the interim Chairman of the party in Ogun State, Apagun Olaolu Samuel, when he led a delegation of the party in the State on a courtesy visit to the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) National Political Commission.
During the visit, Samuel and the delegation expressed displeasure over the perceived silence of the NLC on matters affecting the party.
Nationwide Congress
He said: “As part of the “Recover and Redeem” strategy, the Labour Party has resolved to launch a nationwide congress, leading to a legitimate and all-inclusive national convention.
This move aims to restore the party’s integrity, protect its human capital, and rebuild its image ahead of the 2027 general elections”.

“The party, also said it will implement legal and organizational measures to counteract manipulations and external influences that have undermined its values and progress”.
“We are committed to recovering our party from those who have hijacked it and restoring its integrity,”.
“We urge all our members to remain steadfast and committed to this process, as we work towards rebuilding the Labour Party into a formidable force for the 2027 elections.”
Responding, the NLC Political Commission Chairman, Professor Theophilus Ndubuaku, affirmed their commitment to addressing all issues raised by the visiting team targeted at ensuring the Labour Party overcomes its challenges and is ready for the 2027 elections.
Indeed, nobody knows tomorrow, but one thing is sure, the 2027 election will be a fierce one.
