Former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Senator Biodun Olujimi, has opinied that President Bola Tinubu is a ‘dyed-in-the-wool politician’ and it is the first time the country is having such person in the political space.

Naijaonpoint reports that Olujimi, who recently defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC), made the assertion in an interview on Politics Today, a Channels Television programme.

The APC Chieftain stated that Tinubu has been the political system for a long time and his experience in Nigerian politics gives him a clear advantage ahead of the next presidential race.

According to Olujimi, it will be difficult for any opposition party to defeat President Tinubu in the 2027 general election.

She said, “This is the first time we are having a dyed-in-the-wool politician as a politician. He knows his onions, he knows all of us, he’s been in the system for a very long time. It’ll be tough to beat him.”

Olujimi further highlighted Tinubu’s political history and influence across party lines, saying, “This is a man who has worked with everyone, who has been useful to everyone, who has had opportunities to assist government beating him? Herculean task.”

Meanwhile, former Governor of Niger State, Babangida Aliyu, has said President Bola Tinubu’s administration is making progress but lacks an effective communication strategy to inform Nigerians about its achievements.

Naijaonpoint reports that Aliyu, who is also the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation (SABMF), made the remarks on Arise Television’s The Morning Show while reacting to discussions from a recent public accountability session held in Kaduna.

The forum, organised by SABMF, brought together federal ministers and top government officials to present the administration’s performance to northern stakeholders amid complaints of marginalisation from some political leaders in the region.

Aliyu said that public dissatisfaction with the Federal Government is not necessarily due to non-performance, but rather to poor communication.
