A member of the House of Representatives, Leke Abejide, has claimed that President Bola Tinubu will win convincingly if former president Goodluck Jonathan contests in 2027.
Abejide, who is the Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Customs and Excise, said Tinubu will win more than 32 states in Nigeria if Jonathan should accept to contest the 2027 election.
The lawmaker representing the Yagba East/Yagba West/Mopamuro Federal Constituency, Kogi State, Leke Abejide, disclosed this during an interview on Mic On podcast with Seun Okinbaloye on Saturday.
Reports emerged last week that Jonathan would contest for the presidency in 2027.
It was claimed that he will fly the flag of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and that he was already wooing Mr Peter Obi of the Labour Party to drop his ambition.
But, cautioning against Jonathan's return, Abejide said Tinubu may only lose in Anambra and Ebonyi States.
The African Democratic Congress, ADC, chieftain said: "My prayer is that they should run like that (different political platforms) and Asiwaju will win 32 states.
"He may lose maybe Anambra, Abia, he will win Ebonyi; he may win more than 32 states."
On Tinubu being popular, he said: "I just came from Kano, I was in Kano on Wednesday and I slept there. I came to Kaduna by road yesterday morning.
"No insecurity, the road is very good, then I came by train to Abuja this morning and I can tell you that people are happy."
