Tambuwal, who spoke during an appearance on Politics Today on Friday, said the political environment ahead of 2027 is already changing.

“Politics is dynamic, and virtually everything about people is dynamic. 2027 may not necessarily be a replay of the 2023 elections,” he said.

The former Speaker of the House of Representatives noted that new alliances and shifting interests among politicians and voters would shape the next election differently.

He also compared the coming election to the 1979 presidential contest, which featured political heavyweights like Shehu Shagari, Obafemi Awolowo and Nnamdi Azikiwe.

“I see a replay of 1979 in 2027 rather than the 2023 general elections. You wait and see. The dynamics Today are different,” Tambuwal added.

Tambuwal, who recently defected from the Peoples Democratic Party to the African Democratic Congress, also said he would not support any presidential aspirant until after party primaries are concluded.

Lamido was cleared by the PDP screening committee in Abuja on Thursday ahead of the party’s governorship primary scheduled for May 21.

He emerged as the only aspirant screened for the PDP governorship ticket in Jigawa State, positioning him as the party’s flag bearer to challenge the incumbent governor, Umar Namadi of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in the 2027 general election.

Speaking after the screening exercise, Mustapha Lamido said his decision to contest was driven by the desire to bring positive change to the political landscape of the state and address the needs of the people.

He also expressed concern over the increasing wave of defections among politicians across party lines, which he attributed to a lack of ideological commitment among some political actors.

According to him, the younger generation is determined to transform the country’s political system through purposeful leadership and dedication.

Lamido described the PDP as the only opposition party with strong ideologies capable of addressing the aspirations of ordinary Nigerians.

He further stated that the party secured over 400,000 votes in the previous election and expressed confidence that the PDP would record even better results in the 2027 polls.

“Let’s wait and see the election. I have no issue with that, and I think we have gone past that level now.

“We are in the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) for now, and I know they are in the African Democratic Congress (ADC). I wish them well.

“You see, anybody who is talking about or asking questions about whether our votes will split in Kano is not patient. Let’s wait for the election and see whether our votes are split in Kano or not,” he said.
