An opinion piece by Kola Alapinni critiques The Economist's forecast that President Bola Tinubu may be re-elected in 2027 despite public dislike. The author argues that the magazine's analysis treats the forecast as a verdict, ignoring the dynamic nature of Nigerian politics. The piece challenges the assumptions that incumbency, a split opposition, and a Muslim-Muslim ticket will guarantee re-election. It emphasizes that the 2023 election map will not necessarily repeat itself.
