Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, has predicted that President Bola Tinubu will secure more than 12 million votes in the 2027 presidential election.
Fayose made the prediction 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 attributed his prediction to what he described as improvements in the economy under Tinubu, saying the President had stabilised the economy.
