2027: Tinubu May Onlly Get 30 Percent Northern Votes – Zainab Galadima
Zainab Galadima, daughter of New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) chieftain Buba Galadima, has said the 2027 presidential election will likely be President Bola Tinubu’s most difficult political challenge yet.
She noted that Tinubu could secure as little as 30 percent of votes from the northern region in the 2027 presidential election.
Speaking on the Mic On podcast hosted by Channels Television journalist Seun Okinbaloye, Zainab said,
“Honestly, I don’t have good reviews (from northerners about Tinubu). It’s really bad. Tinubu may get, maybe, 30 percent or less,” she said.
“It’s going to be worse than the 2023 elections. The chances of Tinubu winning the 2027 election is going to be the toughest battle that he will ever see,” she added.
“It’s going to be the toughest because this coalition, as much as I don’t understand what they are doing, but anybody that sees them knows that we need to sit up.”
Zainab previously served as a technical assistant on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the office of the vice-president during the first term of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
Meanwhile, her father, Buba Galadima, also weighed in on the emerging opposition coalition, describing it as a positive development for Nigeria’s democracy.
He urged Nigerians who care about the country’s future to support the alliance, stating that it deserves public backing given the current state of affairs.
