Ondo State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Dr. Kayode Ajulo (SAN), has urged Nigeria’s political class to treat the 2027 presidential election as a foreclosed chapter and begin immediate preparations for the 2031 poll.
The legal luminary said events surrounding the 2027 presidential race had “once again affirmed what is now undeniable,” adding that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu stands unparalleled and unmatched among his rivals.
While maintaining that key opposition figures appeared disoriented and unprepared to credibly challenge the President, he called for a political space that remains open and competitive.
He, however, warned against wasteful and predictable contests that could drain national resources and mortgage the country’s future.
He urged politicians in both the ruling party and the opposition to pause for deep reflection, re-strategise and re-organise rather than engage in what he described as futile agitation.
Ajulo also called on relevant Ministries, Departments and Agencies to intensify structured civic and political engagements aimed at rebuilding discipline, purpose and competence among politicians.
