Trump hopes to use Jonathan against Tinub in 2027

This forecast comes a time when Tinubu’s government faces major criticism of policies that negatively impact Nigerians, including economic difficulties and ongoing security issues such as the Boko Haram rebellion and robbers. Despite these challenges, the ruling of the All Progressive Congress (APC) endorsed Tinubu’s heavy responsibility in 2027, demonstrating that he has confidence in his leadership despite opposition weaknesses and high-profile defections against the APC.

Given Trump’s uninterested interest in African politics, it is surprising to mention Trump and Jonathan in this context, which proves his administration’s reduction of U.S. aid to Africa and lack of involvement in the continental issue. This is in stark contrast to the historical participation of the United States in Nigerian elections, such as the 2015 support for Buhari, which emphasizes a pattern that often speculates on external influences at key political moments in Nigeria.
