A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, Princewill Dike, has declared that the re-election of President Bola Tinubu in 2027 is certain, dismissing efforts by the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as inconsequential.
Dike, a Port Harcourt-based lawyer, made the assertion while reacting to remarks attributed to former Senate President, David Mark, following a court-ordered derecognition of the ADC leadership under him.

He criticised the Mark-led faction, describing its members as “power-hungry” politicians who, despite attacking the current administration, are positioning themselves for leadership.
According to him, no form of propaganda would derail Tinubu’s bid for a second term.
“Let it be noted that no vile propaganda whatsoever can stop President Tinubu’s second term in 2027. He will coast to victory seamlessly. They are aware of this reality and are only striving to remain politically relevant,” he said.
Highlighting what he described as key achievements of the administration, Dike pointed to developments in the Federal Capital Territory, noting that the once “moribund mega city” has witnessed significant infrastructural transformation, positioning it to compete with major cities globally.
"To make education accessible to the masses, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu initiated the Nigerian Education Loan Fund for tertiary institution students. Food accessibility. Go to the market, food prices have significantly dropped to an ebb, like never before.

"Under President Muhammadu Buhari, inflation index was between: nine percent to 22.22 percent to 22.4 percent. But, today, it is about 14.34 percent.
"The economy is stabilising, which in return is attracting foreign investors. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala of the World Bank, Prof. Charles Soludo and other notable economists, including internationally, have all in unison commended Tinubu's economic policy.
"On infrastructural, President Tinubu is doing great. Take for instance: Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway.
"Removal of subsidy on oil, which was a hydra-headed monster, too difficult for previous administrations to confront. Now, the populace are benefiting from the oil revenue, as the funds are directed to critical areas of need, rather than the few who were milking the country dry through subsidy. Oil production boosted to 1.68 million barrels per day.
"On social welfare, Tinubu's administration had released N570 billion to states for livelihood support and introduced grants for 600,000 businesses.Just to mention a few, out of many."
He insisted that Tinubu's reelection would enable him consolidate on the gains of his first tenure, saying "Nigeria will certainly be great under him."
