Ondo Senator Predicts Tinubu Victory in 2027 Presidential Election

The senator representing Ondo Central Senatorial District, Adeniyi Adegbonmire, has expressed confidence that President Bola Tinubu will secure re-election in the February 2027 presidential election. Adegbonmire spoke on Monday at the Akure Airport, where he was received by party members and supporters from his senatorial district. He dismissed concerns that internal disagreements arising from the All Progressives Congress primaries could undermine the party’s chances, saying the differences would be resolved before the election. The senator also claimed that the APC faced no serious opposition and cited the party’s performance in recent bye-elections as an indication of what he expected in the forthcoming general election. He said the party would work towards unity and victory across the various levels of government.

Defending the Tinubu administration, Adegbonmire argued that the President’s economic policies should be assessed against the broader condition of the country and the reforms’ intended long-term effects. He acknowledged that Nigerians were experiencing hardship but maintained that the government’s measures were aimed at creating a more sustainable economy. The lawmaker claimed that Nigeria’s foreign reserves had risen to more than $54 billion and argued that the administration had improved the country’s financial position since taking office in 2023. He also criticised calls to restore fuel subsidies, questioning whether Nigerians would prefer cheaper petrol alongside unpaid salaries or improved earnings despite higher fuel costs. Adegbonmire urged citizens to remain patient, saying the current difficulties would eventually give way to better economic conditions, while reiterating his belief that Tinubu and the APC would triumph in 2027.
