2027: Atiku already has 13 Northern states, Tinubu struggling with 5 in South-West – Amaechi
The vice presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Rotimi Amaechi, says the party's flagbearer, Atiku Abubakar, is on his way to victory in the 2027 presidential poll.
Amaechi made the boast while addressing supporters at the ADC presidential campaign rally in Bauchi on Saturday, where he argued that President Bola Tinubu has lost his grip on the North.
He claimed that Atiku is already in firm control of all 13 states in the North East and North West.
"Atiku has the 13 states in the North East and North West. Tinubu has only 5 in the South West, and the 6th goes to Allied Peoples Movement, APM," he stated.
Amaechi said the ADC is not scared of the contest in the South-South and North Central, stressing that the party will take Tinubu head-on in both regions.
"We will fight him in the South South and North Central. In the North Central, Atiku will easily take Niger, Kogi and Nasarawa," he said.
He also wrote off Tinubu in the South East, saying the President has no chance in the zone.
"The South East is a no-go for Tinubu. Be rest assured the ADC will win," Amaechi declared.
The crowd erupted in jubilation after his speech, with supporters singing and waving ADC flags.
The Bauchi rally forms part of the ADC's nationwide tour to mobilise voters ahead of the 2027 general elections.
