Ayo Fayose, former governor of Ekiti state, says President Bola Tinubu will secure more than 12 million votes in the 2027 presidential election.
Fayose spoke during an interview on Channels Television’s
Politics Today aired on Tuesday.
The former governor said Tinubu would defeat both Atiku
Abubakar, candidate of the African Democratic Party (ADC), and Peter Obi of the
Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in 2027, “even if they come together”.
“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.
“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.”
Fayose’s comment comes after the All Progressives Congress
(APC) presidential campaign council said Tinubu would record a “sweeping
victory” in the 2027 election.
Speaking during an interview on Arise TV on Monday, Ima
Niboro, spokesperson of the APC campaign council, said the party’s growing
membership and the performance of Tinubu’s administration have strengthened its
chances of winning the presidential election.
Niboro, a former media adviser to former President Goodluck
Jonathan, said the APC has 12.8 million registered members, describing the
figure as a formidable electoral base ahead of the polls.
He said the figure was significantly higher than the
membership of major opposition parties, including the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP), African Democratic Congress (ADC), Labour Party and Nigeria Democratic
Congress (NDC).
Niboro also said Tinubu deserves a second term based on what
he described as the performance of his administration since the president
assumed office in 2023.
