Political tensions ahead of the 2027 general elections took a dramatic turn on Thursday as Segun Showunmi, former chieftain and convener of the Alternative Movement Member Tinubu/Shettima PCC 2027, issued a strong warning to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) flag bearer, Atiku Abubakar.

Speaking during an interactive session with senior editors in Abuja, Showunmi made it clear that he holds deep secrets about his former boss and would not hesitate to expose them if targeted politically.

"If they want to distract, I am better able to distract them and carry their body around with it. I know where their skeletons are buried. It annoys, it irritates me," Showunmi declared.

A Case for Continuity in 2027

Beyond the sharp warning, Showunmi formally threw his weight behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid, arguing that Nigeria is currently at a critical turning point that requires policy stability and continuity.

According to Showunmi, sustaining President Tinubu's administration into a second term is vital for solidifying ongoing economic reforms, strengthening national stability, and accelerating development across the federation.

Key Points From the Address:

  • Consolidating Economic Reforms: Showunmi emphasized that interrupting current national policies would derail economic momentum and reset critical progress.

  • National Interest Over Politics: He stressed that the Nigerian project transcends individual political ambitions, stating that the focus must remain on institutional growth and public welfare.

  • A Call to Focus: He urged citizens and political leaders to look past short-term distractions and unite around a long-term vision for prosperity.

"My support for President Tinubu is rooted in my conviction that the Nigerian project is bigger than any individual, political party, or election," Showunmi added. "I support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a second term because I believe Nigeria must keep moving forward."
