2027: ‘Tinubu Might Not Even Get Three Million Votes’ – Momodu

A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Dele Momodu, has said that President Bola Tinubu may not secure more than 3 million votes in the 2027 presidential election if the poll is free and fair.

Naija News reports that Momodu said Tinubu could no longer rely on the over eight million votes he received in the 2023 presidential election.

He stated this during an interview on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief.

The ADC chieftain also said former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former Anambra State governor, Peter Obi, and former Kano State governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, may not retain the votes they secured in the last presidential election.

Momodu said, “Are you saying that Tinubu would retain all the over 8 million people that voted for him last time?

“How are you sure that Atiku would retain all the people that voted for him last time, what is the guarantee that Obi and Kwankwaso would be the only people who would retain voted for them the last time?

“The situation has changed. Tinubu today, if he allows a free and fair election, might not even get three million votes despite all the governors.”

Momodu argued that the influence of governors does not always translate to electoral victory.

He cited the performance of some members of the G-5 governors in the last election.

He said, “We saw how three out of the 5-G governors in their state how they lost just senatorial seats, they couldn’t even guarantee senatorial seats for themselves.

“So for us at ADC, we are focused, steadfast and those who want to join should, while those not interested, you can’t succumb to blackmail.”
