A member of the House of Representatives, Abdulmumin Jibrin, has predicted that President Bola Tinubu will secure at least 65 per cent of the votes cast in the 2027 presidential election.
Jibrin made the claim while appearing on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday night, arguing that the political circumstances surrounding the 2023 election would be different in 2027.
According to him, Tinubu secured 38 per cent of the votes in 2023, but he expects the President’s support to increase significantly in the next election.
“In 2023, President Tinubu got 38 percent of the votes because of the nature of what happened at that time, but take it to the bank, the president will have nothing less than 65 percent of the total votes cast in 2027,” Jibrin said.
The lawmaker also said the All Progressives Congress had studied the major opposition figures and their political structures ahead of the 2027 election.
“We understand that people are talking about the strength of the other opposition parties and figures, but what they fail to realise is that 2023 is not 2027,” he said.
Jibrin added that the APC had developed what he described as a “master plan” to counter the opposition, although he declined to disclose details.
“Unfortunately, I will not be able to say something, but I can give you a hundred percent assurance that we are miles ahead of them and we will win the election,” he said.
He further urged members of the APC to avoid actions that could create internal divisions ahead of the election.
