2027: Tinubu to secure 25% in north, Atiku below 10% in south — Wike

Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike predicted that President Bola Tinubu will secure at least 25% of votes in every state across Northern Nigeria in the 2027 presidential election. He insisted that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar would fail to cross the 10% mark in many states in the South. Wike named specific states in the North Central zone that he believes Tinubu will win, while dismissing concerns that economic hardship would affect the president's re-election chances.
