Ex-INEC commissioner predicts landslide Tinubu victory in 2027

Summary

Former INEC national commissioner Lai Olurode says President Bola Tinubu is likely to win the 2027 presidential election by a wide margin.

Highlights

• Olurode made the prediction in a statement titled “My Arguments for President Tinubu’s Re-election Bid.”
• He said Tinubu’s re-election chances had improved because of a more favourable political climate, improved security and what he called difficult but necessary decisions by the administration.
• Olurode dismissed claims that APC’s defeat in the recent Osun governorship election meant voters had rejected Tinubu.
• He also said the Osun result should be read separately from the president’s prospects in 2027.
