2027: NO APOLOGY, NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER – TINUBU AND KARIMI STAND FIRM
By Musa Bakare
Let the truth be told without sugar coating: any Nigerian opposed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s second term is an enemy of Nigeria. Any Kogite opposed to Senator Sunday Steve Karimi’s return to the Senate is an enemy of Kogi West.
That is the bitter truth they don’t want you to hear.
Having failed to defeat us at the ballot, they now manufacture noise, lies and sponsored blackmail. But Nigeria and Kogi West has moved beyond their cheap propaganda.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu inherited a nation of life support; a bleeding economy, a broken security architecture, and a fuel subsidy cabal that held 200 million Nigerians hostage.
He did not pretend. He did not play politics. He took the hard decisions that cowards before him ran away from.
For decades they told us the subsidy could not be removed. Tinubu removed it. They told us the forex fraud could not be stopped. Tinubu stopped it.
They told us the road to economic sovereignty was impossible. Tinubu is building it.
Today, the foundation is laid. The local refineries are roaring back to life. Investors are returning. State allocations have tripled. Naira is finding its true value. The minimum wage has been increased. Student loans are now a reality, not a campaign promise.
Only enemies of Nigeria will see this courage and call it failure. Only those who profited from the old rot will fight a man cleaning up the rot.
2027 is not about politics; it is about protecting Nigeria’s future from those who want to drag her back into darkness. And Nigeria will not go back.
In Kogi West, the verdict is even clearer. Before Senator Sunday Steve Karimi, representation was noisy without substance.
Today, it is projects, empowerment and presence.
Karimi did not go to Abuja to make fine speeches. He went to work. In less than two years:
He has redefined what constituency projects mean, with roads, classrooms, and water and power interventions across the seven local governments.
He has empowered thousands of our mothers, youths and farmers directly, not through audio promises.
He has restored respect and ranking to Kogi West in the National Assembly.
Those fighting him are not fighting Karimi. They are fighting the people of Kogi West. They are the same people who kept us in darkness for years, who see politics as their personal inheritance, who cannot stand that a man who came to serve is now loved by the people.
Kogi West has spoken: we love Sunday Steve Karimi ! will not replace performance with propaganda. We will not replace a performing senator with failed names recycled by bitterness.
This is the moment of truth.
You are either for progress or for the enemies of progress. You cannot be neutral.
In 2027, lovers of Nigeria will stand with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
In 2027, lovers of Kogi West will stand with Senator Sunday Steve Karimi Karimi.
The enemies are already gathered. They are loud on social media but empty on the ground. They have no plan, no record, no capacity, only hatred.
But let them hear this today: we are not retreating. We are not apologizing. We will campaign door to door, street to street, LGA to LGA, and we will win convincingly, powerfully, triumphantly.
Tinubu and Karimi 2027 are not just tickets. They are a movement of patriots against saboteurs. It is the will of the people against the greed of a few.
Forward ever, backward never!
