Lawmaker predicts states Tinubu would win in 2027

Leke Abejide, a member of the House of Representatives representing the Yagba East/Yagba West/Mopamuro federal constituency in Kogi State, has forecasted that President Bola Tinubu would achieve a significant electoral victory should former President Goodluck Jonathan choose to run in the 2027 elections.

Abejide, a prominent member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), shared this assessment during an interview on the Mic On podcast on Sunday.

The legislator expressed his belief that President Tinubu could secure victories in more than 32 states, with anticipated losses limited to Anambra and Abia.
His words: “My prayer is that they should run like that (different political platforms), and Asiwaju will win 32 states.

“He may lose maybe Anambra, Abia, he will win Ebonyi; he may win more than 32 states.”

Abejide attributed Tinubu’s popularity to his administration’s investments in infrastructure and security.

He said his recent travels across the north showed improved road safety and public satisfaction.

“I just came from Kano, I was in Kano on Wednesday and I slept there. I came to Kaduna by road yesterday morning. No insecurity, the road is very good, then I came by train to Abuja this morning and I can tell you that people are happy,” he said.

Speculation has been mounting about Jonathan’s possible return to presidential politics in 2027, but Abejide believes such a move would only boost Tinubu’s chances.
