According to Punch Newspapers, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has predicted that its candidate, Peter Obi, will defeat President Bola Tinubu in Lagos State by a wider margin in the upcoming 2027 election. This prediction comes after Obi’s impressive performance during the 2023 elections, where he won several key states despite being an independent candidate. The NDC believes that with official party backing, Obi will be able to expand his support base in Lagos, traditionally a stronghold of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). However, it remains to be seen whether this prediction will materialize, as political alliances and campaign strategies can shift significantly between elections. It is also important to note that the election is still more than three years away, allowing for many developments that could impact the outcome.
