The National Democratic Congress (NDC) says it expects its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to defeat President Bola Tinubu in Lagos in the 2027 election, predicting a wider margin of victory.
Vanguard reports that the Lagos State chapter of Tinubu’s All Progressives Congress (APC) rejects the NDC’s assertion. APC spokesman Seye Oladejo describes the claim as “wishful thinking,” presenting the NDC’s forecast as unsupported.
Both outlets frame the issue as a political exchange ahead of the 2027 vote, with the NDC offering an electoral outcome projection for Lagos and the APC responding by disputing the likelihood and tone of the prediction. The reports do not cite independent evidence, polling, or official election results, focusing instead on party positions and public statements from each camp.
