Omokri Predicts Tinubu's Victory in 2027 Election

Reno Omokri, the Ambassador-designate to Mexico and former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, stated on September 13, 2026, that President Bola Tinubu will secure a decisive victory in the 2027 presidential election. Omokri noted that Tinubu's political support has expanded significantly since the 2023 elections.

He pointed to large crowds at recent political rallies in Katsina and Kano as indicators of Tinubu's growing influence in Northern Nigeria. When questioned about the reliability of rally attendance as a predictor of electoral success, Omokri shifted the discussion to the alignment of governors in states associated with Tinubu's potential rivals.

He identified Peter Obi, the flagbearer for the African Democratic Congress (ADC), as one of Tinubu's primary challengers. Omokri also discussed the implications of the APC's Muslim-Muslim ticket from the 2023 elections, suggesting that the fear-driven protest votes from Christian communities would not be repeated in 2027.

He concluded with a strong prediction of Tinubu's re-election.
