National Chairman of the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP), Dan Nwanyanwu, has cautioned President Bola Tinubu against his supporters’ excesses, warning that their political exuberance could affect the president’s chances in the 2027 election.
Nwanyanwu, who stated this during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Tuesday, observed that some persons who claim to support the president are acting in ways that alienate Nigerians and diminish support for Tinubu.
“I think President Tinubu should be very careful with some people who are claiming to be supporting him. They are going overdrive, and this overdrive is making people lose interest in him,” he said.
The presidential hopeful said some of Tinubu’s supporters are diminishing the president’s political capital by alienating Nigerians who once backed him.
According to him, “I am not supposed to advise him because I am also interested in that seat, but it is making him very unpopular.
“Then there are people who ordinarily decided to support Tinubu because of where he took over, but now they are all gone because there are people around him,” he said.
The ZLP chairman also dismissed suggestions that the outcome of the 2027 presidential election was already predetermined, insisting that opposition parties would actively challenge the ruling party at the polls.
“I think they want to write results. We are waiting; we’ll give them the biro and paper to write the results. We are going to be in this country; we are not going anywhere. There will be a contest in this election. It is not over,” Nwanyanwu said.
Top Society reports that the president’s supporters under the auspices of City Boy Movement and other groups have continued to mobilise across the country, highlighting his administration’s reforms and achievements while strengthening the All Progressives Congress (APC) grassroots structures.
