The Chairman of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Senator Dayo Adeyeye, has expressed strong confidence that President Bola Tinubu will secure victory in all 36 states of the federation in the 2027 presidential election.
Adeyeye, who also leads the South-West Agenda for Asiwaju (SWAGA), attributed his confidence to what he described as the achievements of the Tinubu administration, its growing political support, and the ruling All Progressives Congress’ (APC) nationwide political structure.
He made the prediction while speaking with journalists in Ado Ekiti on Wednesday, insisting that the president’s political influence had continued to expand beyond his traditional South-West support base.
According to Adeyeye, the Federal Government’s economic reforms have improved the financial position of state governments by increasing the resources available for salaries, pensions, gratuities, and infrastructure development.
He acknowledged that Nigerians were still experiencing economic difficulties but maintained that the removal of petrol subsidy and the unification of the foreign exchange market were necessary measures to address longstanding economic challenges.
Adeyeye argued that the reforms had helped reduce fiscal distortions, improve transparency in the foreign exchange market, and prevent a deeper economic crisis.
He also highlighted the administration’s student loan program, increased funding for universities, and efforts to address industrial disputes in the education sector as areas he believes deserve recognition.
The NPA chairman further maintained that Tinubu had established a strong political foundation in the South-West, describing the region as an important starting point for his expected nationwide campaign.
On the opposition, Adeyeye dismissed the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as a serious electoral threat to the APC, arguing that the party lacked the governors, legislators, and grassroots structures needed to challenge an incumbent president.
He also questioned the political strength of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, who is associated with the ADC’s presidential ambitions, pointing to the absence of support from the Adamawa State governor.
Adeyeye argued that opposition parties would struggle to defeat Tinubu without establishing strong political structures across the country.
Tinubu won the 2023 presidential election with 8,794,726 votes, defeating Atiku Abubakar, who scored 6,984,520 votes, and Peter Obi, who received 6,101,533 votes, according to INEC’s declared results.
However, the 2027 contest is expected to be shaped by public assessment of the administration’s economic policies, the cost of living, political alliances, and the strength of opposition parties.
The ADC is also dealing with an internal leadership dispute following a November 5 Federal High Court ruling concerning its David Mark-led National Working Committee. The party has appealed the decision and sought a stay of execution.
Adeyeye’s prediction of an APC victory in all 36 states therefore represents his political assessment ahead of the election, rather than an established electoral outcome.
