2027: Tinubu’ll get extra Northern votes regardless of Buhari’s dying – Dayo Adeyeye

A former Minister of State for Works, Dayo Adeyeye, on Saturday, hinted that the death of ex-President Muhammadu Buhari won’t affect President Bola Tinubu’s reelection in 2027.

Adeyeye said Tinubu would get more votes in the North despite Buhari’s death.

Addressing journalists in Lagos, Adeyeye said claims that Buhari’s death would affect Tinubu’s chances was faulty.

He insisted that Tinubu never depended on Buhari’s popularity in the North to win the 2023 election.

Adeyeye said: “It’s not correct. In fact, Tinubu will win more votes in the north and elsewhere in 2027 than anytime ever in the history of the republic.

“Ninety per cent of the CPC figures are with him (Tinubu), quote me any where. The leadership met about three or four weeks ago and said they are with Tinubu.”
