President Bola Tinubu’s allies and political officials are predicting a sweeping victory in Nigeria’s 2027 presidential election, with Nigerian Ports Authority chairman Dayo Adeyeye saying the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) could win all 36 states. Multiple outlets report that Adeyeye also dismisses the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as lacking the capacity to mount a serious challenge to Tinubu’s re-election bid.
Adeyeye’s comments are framed around the opposition’s perceived weakness and limited reach, including claims that the ADC does not currently hold a governorship and has limited representation in elected offices. One outlet also reports Adeyeye questioning ADC presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar’s electoral prospects, citing what it describes as insufficient political control in Adamawa.
Beyond politics, at least one outlet includes Adeyeye’s view on economic policy under the Tinubu administration, mentioning the removal of fuel subsidy and foreign-exchange reforms, and describing them as aimed at averting a deeper fiscal crisis. Across the coverage, the shared focus remains Adeyeye’s forecast of an APC win in all states, with variation mainly in how much is devoted to opposition structure and economic arguments.
