Leke Abejide, a member of the House of Representatives for Yagba East/Yagba West/Mopamuro federal constituency in Kogi, has predicted that President Bola Tinubu would secure a landslide victory if former President Goodluck Jonathan decides to contest in 2027.
Abejide, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), made the comment during an interview on the Mic On podcast on Sunday.
The lawmaker predicted that Tinubu would win more than 32 states, possibly losing only in 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.
