Abdul‑Azeez Adediran, a former Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate in Lagos State who is also known as Jandor, has predicted a decisive victory for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election. Speaking on Channels Television’s program *Politics Today*, Jandor—who recently defected to the All Progressives Congress—said Tinubu’s national influence has grown markedly, making a win in both Lagos and the country highly likely in 2027.
Jandor contrasted the upcoming election with the 2023 contest, when Tinubu lost in Lagos State. He attributed the anticipated reversal to his own defection to the APC and the activities of his Lagos for Lagos movement, noting, “Remember, in 2023, Jandor and his Lagos for Lagos movement were outside, and this time, we are back inside.” He believes this shift in allegiance will affect the election outcome.
Confident in Tinubu’s “courageous leadership,” Jandor described the 2027 presidential race as a “walkover” for the incumbent, suggesting a potential landslide. His forecast rests on the perceived expansion of Tinubu’s influence and the consolidated support from Jandor’s movement. While the 2027 election is still pending and many factors will shape its result, Jandor’s prediction highlights how Tinubu’s leadership and the realignment of political forces in Lagos could significantly impact the vote. Whether his forecast materializes will become clear as the election approaches and other political developments unfold.
