Political analyst and former ally of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Segun Sowunmi, has predicted that President Bola Tinubu might record a poor outing in the 2027 presidential election.
Sowunmi said the 2027 presidential election may be between Tinubu and Atiku.
Speaking on Arise Television’s Morning Show, Sowunmi predicted that Tinubu could win 22 states in the presidential election in 2027.
“The election is between Tinubu and Atiku no doubt about it and I believe that he’s going to win significantly better numbers in the Southeast because those are not places they usually get better numbers before, he said.
“He’s going to put up good numbers in the Southwest, of course. The way I’m looking at things, I even suspect that the South South may even bring in more good numbers than the South East.
“The president’s going to do very well in the Northcentral, and he’ll do much better than he did the last time in the Northwest.
“For the Northwest, you have to look at where the big boys are, the big players that control the .election and the big money.
“And when it comes to the Northeast, the vice president will have to pull his weight a little bit more and their governors would try more.
“I expect the president to be weak probably in the North but in that North where the president may be weak, I have looked at all the governors and big players there.
Let me give you an example of Katsina, the last time PDP won, one of the persons that worked very hard there was the then Director General of Atiku Campaign, we won Katsina though we lost the election, I went back to go and thank them and I have looked now Shema is no longer there, Isa Kenta is going to the APC, I have seen what Rabi is doing there.
“Look at Kano for example, they have Shekarau now in addition to Ganduje, I have looked at the big money people in Kano, I have looked at Dangote, BUA owner, you see these things don’t yield that way.”
