Tinubu to Gain ‘Massive Support’ in 2027 in South-East Vote Surge, Says Bwala

South-East Vote Surge

South-East Vote Surge: Tinubu is set to receive over two million votes from the South-East in 2027, says presidential aide Daniel Bwala

President Bola Tinubu is poised to witness a South-East vote surge in the 2027 presidential election, according to Daniel Bwala, his Special Adviser on Policy Communication.

Speaking on Channels Television, Bwala expressed strong confidence in Tinubu’s growing popularity in the region, forecasting a dramatic increase in support compared to the 2023 election.

“President Bola Tinubu is going to get more than four times, if not six times, the votes he received in the South-East in 2023,” Bwala stated. “He’ll get up to two million.”

In the 2023 polls, Tinubu managed just 127,370 votes from the South-East. A surge to two million would mark a historic upswing and a significant political shift.

Peter Obi’s Waning Influence?

When asked about the potential impact of Labour Party’s Peter Obi running again in 2027, Bwala dismissed his chances, saying Obi’s grip on the region has weakened.

“He has lost more than 50% of his votes because they were not built on agenda or politics. They were built on rhetoric and division,” Bwala argued. “People’s eyes are now open.”

According to Bwala, Obi may not even secure a presidential or vice-presidential ticket in 2027, pointing to his rumored affiliation with the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as a potential fallback.

Defections and Endorsements Boost APC

Bwala further emphasized that recent defections of influential southern governors to the APC and endorsements from key opposition figures are reshaping the South-East political landscape.

These developments, he said, will bolster Tinubu’s chances in the region, positioning him as a more widely accepted national figure in 2027.

Any Ambition Against Senator Nwoko’s Second Term Bid Is Selfish, Unnecessary —APC Chieftain

Published

By

As Senator Ned Nwoko positions for a return to the National Assembly, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Emmanuel Eboh, has described any opposing ambition as self- serving, unnecessary  and detrimental to the peace and development of Delta North Senatorial District.

Speaking in an interview in Abuja, Chief Eboh, a former civil commissioner in Delta State, said Senator Nwoko continues to enjoy widespread goodwill and the support of the people of Delta North, popularly known as Anioma.

While acknowledging that political aspirations are legitimate in a democratic setting, Eboh cautioned against what he termed the “unacceptable drift towards turning politics into a family enterprise and a tool for power control and manipulation.”

He called on residents of Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency and the wider Delta North district to resist  “the inordinate ambition of some Shylock politicians driven by selfish motives and unrestrained personal interests.”

The APC stalwart warned that personality-driven ambitions, rather than people-oriented leadership, could
lead to  avoidable rivalry and division within Delta North.

Chief Eboh maintained that Senator Nwoko’s performance in office has been commendable and deserving of re-election, citing key interventions in rural road construction, electrification, education, potable water supply, and empowerment programmes.

He further highlighted the senator’s sustained advocacy for the recognition and identity of Anioma, noting that it was “unprecedented in the political history of the district”.

According to him, “Senator Nwoko has not only met expectations but surpassed them. He deserves re-election, particularly given the fact that the core constitutional responsibility of a senator is lawmaking for the good governance of the nation.”

Eboh said the people of Delta North regard Nwoko as a progressive leader who embodies unity and dignity across Anioma, stressing that he should not be distracted by unnecessary political contestation.

He reaffirmed that the senator’s commitment to the growth and development of Anioma remains unwavering and urged constituents to sustain their support for his return to the Senate.

The APC chieftain also called for continued backing of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.
