A retired diplomat and chieftain of All Progressive Congress, Ambassador Simon Ejike Eze, in this interview hails President Bola Tinubu’s reforms of the nation’s economy and giant strides in curbing insecurity across the federation. He speaks on other national issues, including gang up by some Northern Groups against the re-election of President Tinubu come 2027. Linus Eleke brings excerpts:
The opposition is working hard to ensure that President Bola Tinubu loses his second-term bid, and that informed the current coalitions moves. What is your take on this?
My candid opinion is that the presidential election will come, but for us in the All Progressive Congress (APC), and of course, our performing President, there is no vacancy in Aso Rock in 2027. He is the only candidate we have for now, and I’m sure the party, APC, will still nominate him for the 2027 Presidential election. I believe that he has done so much for the country that most Nigerians, if not all, will vote for him for a second term because he has done well.
