African Democratic Congress chieftain, Dele Momodu, has predicted that the 2027 presidential election will be tough for President Bola Tinubu.
Speaking during an interview on Nevon Media with Oseni
Rufai, on Friday, Momodu expressed optimism that the candidate of the ADC, Atiku
Abubakar, will win the election.
According to him, if Atiku can hold his ground in the
southern part of the country while dominating the north, he will easily defeat
both President Bola Tinubu and Peter Obi.
“As I predicted, Atiku will win the majority of the North,
and if he is able to compete favourably in the South, it will be over for
President Tinubu and Peter Obi.
“Atiku will secure at least 25% of the votes in 26 states
while also dominating the North, which is where the bulk of the votes are,” he
said.
He further stated that to win a presidential election in
Nigeria, the constitution requires a candidate to secure the highest number of
total votes, plus at least 25% of the votes in two-thirds of the states.
He expressed the belief that Atiku is on track to clear this
hurdle by locking down the high-voting northern states.
His prediction comes as the key political rivals prepared to
face off again. In the previous 2023 election, Bola Tinubu won the presidency
with roughly 37% of the vote, relying on a powerful base in the South-West and
a steady spread of votes across the country.
