Ahead of the January 16, 2027 presidential election, a former member representing Osun Central in the National Assembly, Olusola Adeyeye, has said that President Bola Tinubu will coast to victory in the South West region.
On the chances of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the South West, Adeyeye said that anyone from any party who thinks the 2027 general elections will be an easy one is suffering from self-delusion.
Adeyeye, who is also the South-West Coordinator of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign council, said that any party that goes into an election disunited stands a good chance of losing the election.
The senator, however, said that he does not see any party in the present configuration of Nigeria defeating the APC wherever the ruling party is united in the South-West.
He, however, said that the APC is working “very hard” to win and will win “big”.
“I make bold: anyone from any party who thinks the next election will be easy for it is suffering self-delusion. We in the APC, we work very hard to win, and I want to assure you that we will win,” Adeyeye said on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics.
“I also want to assure you. We will win big. I care that we win the South West, and we’re going to shock everybody.”
“In the worst scenario, let us say that Bola Tinubu lost the South-West; I guarantee you he will not. But if he does, have we forgotten that another Yoruba man lost the South-West and became the President? Did (former President Olusegun) Obasanjo not lose his ward, lose his polling booth, lose his state, lose his zone, lose every state in the South-West and yet become President?” he added.
The senator said that the APC would win in Osun in the 2027 elections, saying that much of the affection that Governor Ademola Adeleke is enjoying is not for the governor but for his elder brother and his father.
When asked whether a former Osun governor, Rauf Aregbesola, who is of the African Democratic Party (ADC), is not a threat, the former lawmaker questioned the performance of the ADC in the August 15, 2026 Osun State governorship election.
He said Aregbesola is not a candidate in the forthcoming general elections.
“How did the ADC perform, even in Ilesa? How did Aregbesola perform in Osun Central, where I come from?
“If Aregbesola is the candidate, it’s a different matter.”
“The truth is he’s still a magnificent person, much loved. If he were a candidate, believe you me, anybody would be hard-pressed to beat him in Osun, but where he’s not the candidate, even he must not deceive himself that he can automatically take the affection for him to another person,” he added.
