Deji Adeyanju predicts Tinubu will defeat Atiku in 2027, claiming the President can secure at least 25 per cent of votes in every state
Activist lawyer Deji Adeyanju has predicted that President Bola Tinubu will defeat former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar in the January 2027 presidential election, claiming that the incumbent can secure at least 25 per cent of the votes in every state.

Adeyanju made the prediction on Friday in a post on X, where he argued that Tinubu could achieve the threshold even in states such as Adamawa, Anambra, Kano and Oyo.
He said the ability to secure a minimum of 25 per cent of the votes across all states would give Tinubu an advantage over his potential challengers.
“I see Tinubu defeating Atiku in January because of many reasons but let me highlight only one today. Tinubu will get 25% votes in every state in Nigeria including Adamawa, Anambra, Kano and Oyo. No other candidate can pull such numbers. Read this carefully again,” Adeyanju wrote.
The lawyer added that northern Nigeria was the region where he expected a particularly strong electoral performance for the President.
“It’s only northern Nigeria we should be expecting miracle from. And they have the capacity to do so,” he said.
Adeyanju’s comments come amid growing political activity ahead of the 2027 general election, with political figures and parties intensifying discussions about the contest.
Atiku has repeatedly criticised policies introduced by the Tinubu administration, including the removal of the petrol subsidy, while opposition figures have continued to challenge the President’s record in office.
The expected presidential contest is also likely to involve other political figures, including Peter Obi, although the final field of candidates will depend on party nominations and the electoral process.

Adeyanju’s prediction remains his personal assessment of the election outcome, rather than a verified forecast of voting patterns across the country.
