Former Minister of Works and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Dayo Adeyeye has declared that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election in 2027 is no longer a question of if, but when.
Adeyeye,the Chairman of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA),in a chat with newsmen in Ado-Ekiti said the President’s performance and growing support across the country make a clean sweep not just possible, but inevitable.
Adeyeye said Tinubu has won the hearts of Nigerians in every region through his bold leadership and visible achievements, and that the momentum behind him has now become unstoppable.
“I am absolutely confident and ready to campaign anywhere for Tinubu. I believe he deserves massive support in the 2027 election, and I predict that he will win in all the states of the federation,” he said.
According to him, while Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar continue to parade themselves as alternatives, neither of them possesses the political structure, the track record, or the nationwide acceptance that Tinubu commands.
“Obi, Atiku no match for Tinubu,” Adeyeye said. “I am absolutely confident and ready to campaign anywhere for Tinubu. I believe he deserves massive support in the 2027 election, and I predict that he will win in all the states of the federation.
He said the ADC is yet to demonstrate sufficient political strength at the state and National Assembly levels to pose a credible challenge to the ruling party.
“How can the APC be afraid of anything with the political atmosphere we have now?
The APC chieftain argued that Atiku’s political difficulties were compounded by the absence of strong backing from his home state, alleging that neither the Adamawa State governor nor prominent political figures in the state had demonstrated substantial support for his presidential ambition.p0p0
“Atiku is from Adamawa, but the governor of his state is not supporting him. The legislature in the state has not witnessed any significant movement to the ADC. How do you intend to challenge and defeat an incumbent president when you cannot establish a formidable political base in your own state?” he asked.
