2027: Atiku Controls 13 Northern States While Tinubu Has Just Five South-West States – Amaechi

Former Rivers State Governor and ADC Vice-Presidential Candidate, Rotimi Amaechi, has claimed that President Bola Tinubu has limited political support in the South-West, while former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar enjoys the backing of 13 states across the North-East and North-West ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

Amaechi asserted on Saturday during the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential campaign rally in Bauchi State, where he expressed confidence in the party’s chances in the forthcoming election.

According to him, Tinubu has only five states in the South-West, while the sixth state could go to the Allied Peoples Movement (APM).

He further claimed that Atiku commands support across the 13 states in the North-East and North-West, adding that the ADC would battle the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the South-South and North-Central.

“In the North-Central, Atiku will easily take Niger, Kogi and Nasarawa States. The South-East is a no-go area for Tinubu. Be rest assured that the ADC will win,” Amaechi said.

Also speaking at the Bauchi rally, ADC presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar outlined some of his proposed policies, promising to restore petroleum subsidy and introduce electricity subsidy if elected president.

Atiku also pledged to address insecurity in the North-East and other parts of the country, while promising to continue petroleum exploration in the Kolmani oil field in Bauchi State.

“I promise all Nigerians that I will restore the petroleum subsidy. Not only that, but I will also restore the subsidy for electricity power. I will restore security in the North-East and the country in general. I also promise that I will continue the exploitation of petroleum in Kolmani, Bauchi,” Atiku declared.
