President Bola Tinubu has warned political rivals aiming to unseat him in the 2027 presidential election that he will not yield ground without a fight, declaring that they must be prepared to “wrestle” him to the finish line. Tinubu spoke on Tuesday while receiving members of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria (CBCN), led by its president, Most Rev. He vowed to fiercely defend his position against 2027 challengers, stating, “I won’t offer them a red carpet… we will wrestle each other to the finishing point”. I won’t offer them the leash to tie me and rope me. No, we wrestle each other to the finishing point,” Tinubu said.
