Tinubu Will Still Defeat Atiku, Obi in 2027 Even If They Unite – Fayose
Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will win the 2027 presidential election with over 12 million votes, even if opposition figures unite against him.
Fayose stated this on Tuesday during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
According to him, President Tinubu will defeat former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, who is now with the African Democratic Party (ADC), and Peter Obi of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), whether they contest separately or as a coalition.
“It’s a three-way horse; maybe I am not putting it right. Atiku is there, and Obi is there. Even if they come together, this man (Tinubu) will still defeat them. But let us say they don’t come together; too bad for them because this election will be balkanised,” Fayose said.
The former governor predicted that the South-West alone would give Tinubu a margin of five to six million votes.
“South-west will come up with not less than six million differences; I’m telling you, between five to six million. Write it down. Other five million, who would vote for Obi or Atiku in Ekiti? Who would vote for them in Osun? Who would vote for them in Ondo? What is their structure? This politics is not a tea party. Asiwaju will have over 12 million votes. To rig the election now is very difficult. Very, very difficult,” he added.
Fayose attributed his prediction to what he described as economic stability under the Tinubu administration.
