Edo State Commissioner for Information Kassim Afegbua predicts that President Bola Tinubu will win Nigeria’s 2027 presidential election. In his forecast, Afegbua says Atiku Abubakar will finish second, while Peter Obi will come third.
Afegbua makes the remarks in an interview discussing the prospects of leading opposition figures, as reported by outlets covering the same comments. He frames the race as a limited contest among three major candidates—Tinubu, Atiku and Obi—suggesting that other contenders are unlikely to meaningfully challenge the top three. Both reports present his statement as a personal outlook rather than an official electoral result or party position.
