FCT, Abuja - Abdul-Aziz Na'ibi Abubakar, a chieftain of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), has said President Bola Tinubu will not get northern votes in the 2027 election.
Abubakar, the director-general (DG) of media, Atiku The Light Organisation, expressed doubt that the southwest geopolitical zone alone can make Tinubu a two-term president.
Quoting a tweet, Abubakar wrote on his verified handle on Saturday, July 6:
“You can cry till eternity, but Tinubu won't get northern votes in 2027. Let's see if the Southwest alone can make him a two-term President, the person wey even lost Lagos & his state of origin, Osun should not be bragging about votes, or even try to draw lines with the region that gave him the highest votes.
