Political analysts in Nigeria have predicted the outcome of the 2027 presidential election, with some suggesting that President Bola Tinubu may receive over 70% of the votes in the North. The campaign council of Deji Elumoye, Chuks Okocha, and Adedayo Akinwale in Abuja claimed that the North will re-elect Tinubu. However, other analysts, including Shettima, have expressed a different view.
The report states that the campaign council believes that the former governor of Oyo State, Makinde, will defeat Tinubu in his 12 key battleground states. The analysts noted that the political landscape is shifting, with growing support for Makinde in the North.
The predictions come amid heightened political activity ahead of the 2027 election. The campaign council emphasized that the North remains a crucial region for presidential candidates, and the results of the election will largely depend on voter sentiment in that area.
This forecast follows recent political developments, including the ongoing influence of former leaders and the emergence of new political figures. The analysts stressed that while Tinubu has strong support in the North, the political dynamics are complex and could change as the election approaches.
