Music executive, Ubi Franklin Ofem, has faced backlash after expressing confidence that President Bola Tinubu cannot be defeated in the 2027 presidential election.
Naijaonpoint reports that Franklin stated that the president is on the right track and doing everything correctly.
He argued that in Nigeria, opposition parties often refuse to acknowledge any achievement by a sitting government, no matter the effort made.
“In Nigeria, if the opposition wants to campaign against you, they will never see anything good in what you have done being in government. There are many things President Tinubu is getting right.
“I get the gathering of various political leaders to form a a coalition, with the way it is currently constituted, it will be another interesting elections and they will not unseat Mr President.
“I believe it’s time we start pushing the sub-nationals( governors) to work and do more to support the work being done at the center, they are receiving more than the governors before 2023”, he posted on his Twitter page.
Nigerians flooded the comment section to criticize the talent manager over his position.

When we discuss governance, we consider various indicators such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Human Development Index (HDI), Better Life Index (BLI), Genuinue Progress Indicator (GP)I, and a few others.
Specifically, we examine how we have fared in critical areas like security, education, health, poverty rates, purchasing power for the majority of Nigerians, material living conditions, and overall quality of life.Can you, in all sincerity, explain how the lives of the majority of Nigerians have improved, or not, in these critical areas over the past decade or even the last two years?”
@kindwest tweeted: “Don’t be surprised. More of Ubi’s like would emerge before the year runs out. His type thinks they have a seat at the table while in reality, they’re part of the menu.”
@AmosOsime replied: “Because you met Tinubu and Shettima through Davido, you now think you have assumed the position of Spokesperson for the government. Oga go and face your record label business or continue being a PA to Chioma.”

@Xhogre posted: “A privileged Nigerian is one of most delusional human in total disconnect with reality. See Ubi of that year. Go down the streets of Nigeria and see the many things Tinubu has gotten worse. Middle class people that used to do give away are now beggars. God will definitely cripple your entire existence for being this insensitive to the plight of Nigerians at this hard time!!”
