Popular activist VeryDarkMan has stirred fresh political debate with claims that Bola Tinubu may be positioning for a third-term ambition beyond 2027.
According to him, recent political moves by the ruling party suggest a strategy that goes far beyond the next election cycle.
Allegations of a Bigger Political Game Plan
VeryDarkMan pointed to several developments he believes signal a long-term agenda by the All Progressives Congress (APC), including:
- Distribution of food items like rice
- Grassroots mobilization efforts such as the “City Boy Movement”
- Strong political control, with APC-linked governors across most states
He argued that these moves appear to be laying groundwork for sustained dominance rather than just a 2027 re-election bid.
Concerns Over One-Party Dominance
A key part of the claim is the suggestion that Nigeria could be heading toward a one-party system.
According to VeryDarkMan, the scale of political consolidation by the APC raises concerns about:
- Reduced political competition
- Weakening opposition parties
- Long-term democratic balance
What the Law Says About Presidential Terms
Under Constitution of Nigeria, a president is limited to two terms in office.
Any move toward a third term would require:
- Constitutional amendments
- Broad political and legislative support
As of now, there is no official indication from the government suggesting such plans.
Reactions and Public Debate
The statement has triggered mixed reactions among Nigerians:
- Supporters dismiss it as speculation or political commentary
- Critics see it as a warning worth paying attention to
- Observers view it as part of ongoing political discourse ahead of future elections
While VeryDarkMan’s claims remain unverified, they have reignited conversations about Nigeria’s political future and the direction of the All Progressives Congress.
For now, the focus remains on whether these moves are simply strategic politics—or something much bigger in the making.
