2027: ‘Tinubu May Be Weak In The North’ – Segun Sowunmi

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Segun Sowunmi, has predicted that President Bola Tinubu may get a weak result in the North during the 2027 presidential election.

Naija News reports that Sowunmi, while featuring on Arise Television’s Morning Show on Wednesday, opined that the 2027 presidential election is between Tinubu and former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar.

Sowunmi also predicted that Tinubu will win significantly in the Southeast, Southwest, Northcentral and Northwest.

He said, “The election is between Tinubu and Atiku no doubt about it and I believe that he’s going to win significantly better numbers in the Southeast because those are not places they usually get better numbers before.

“Of course, he is going to get good numbers in the Southwest. I even suspect that the South South may even bring in more good numbers than the Southeast, the way I’m looking at things.

“The president is going to do very well in the Northcentral, and he will do significantly better than he did the last time in the Northwest.

“For the Northwest, you have to look at where the big players are, the big boys that control the ,election and the big money. And when it comes to the Northeast, the vice president will have to pull his weight a little bit more and their governors would try more.

“Where I expect the president to be weak is probably in the North but in that North where the president may be weak, I have looked at all the governors and big players there.

“Let me give you an example of Katsina, the last time PDP won, one of the persons that worked very hard there was the then Director General of Atiku Campaign, we won Katsina though we lost the election, I went back to go and thank them and I have looked now Shema is no longer there, Isa Kenta is going to the APC, I have seen what Rabi is doing there.

“Take Kano for instance, they now have Shekarau over and above Ganduje, I have also looked at the big money people in Kano, I have looked at Dangote, BUA owner, you see these things don’t yield that way.”
