The Senior Political Assistant to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Demola Olarewaju, has predicted that President Bola Tinubu will lose the 2027 presidential election if both Atiku and former President Goodluck Jonathan contest on different platforms.
Speaking on the Mic On podcast on Saturday, Olarewaju said Jonathan stands a strong chance of securing public support if he participates in a competitive presidential primary and emerges victorious.
“If Goodluck Jonathan can come into the primaries and contest in a competitive primaries and he wins, we all will support him,” Olarewaju stated.
Responding to a question on the possible outcome if Jonathan contests on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) while Atiku runs under the African Democratic Congress (ADC), he said: “APC loses. The APC will have no base in the 2027 election if Jonathan runs on the PDP and Atiku or someone else runs in the ADC.”
Olarewaju also asserted that the PDP no longer commands the political influence it once had, suggesting a shifting balance of power ahead of the next general elections.
