GMI Predicts Tinubu's 2027 Victory Amid Opposition Divisions

The Grassroots Mobilisation Initiative (GMI) has predicted a total victory for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the upcoming 2027 presidential election. GMI National Coordinator Samaila Musa stated that divisions among opposition parties and the distribution of votes across Nigeria's six geopolitical zones are critical factors influencing the election outcome.

The group argues that the opposition's inability to form a united coalition undermines its chances against the incumbent. Musa emphasized that political realities indicate former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is unlikely to win any states in the Southern region, where support has shifted towards Peter Obi and South East Governors, who favor Tinubu's re-election bid.

GMI's assessment covers the political dynamics in the South-West, South-East, North-West, North-East, and North-Central regions, highlighting the impact of competition among opposition figures, including Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, and Rabiu Kwankwaso.
