BREAKING: 2027: How 6 Geo-political Zones Will Likely Vote Amid Defection, Atiku’s Coalition, Analyst Predicts
FCT, Abuja – The coordinator of the Citizens Coalition, Kelly Agaba, has predicted how the six geo-political zones will vote in the 2027 presidential elections.
Agaba said the 2027 elections will be a game-changer, especially with insecurity and economic woes top of mind for voters.
The political analyst said nepotistic appointments will likely sway the electorate.
He stated during an exclusive chat with Legit.ng on Wednesday, April 30, 2025.
2027 election: The Battle Lines
According to Agaba, the 2027 elections will pit the downtrodden against the powerful, with voters seeking change.
Agaba added that the 2027 election is a battle for relevance, accountability, and a better future.
Regional breakdown ahead of 2027 elections
Agaba’s prediction is based on the assumption that former vice president Atiku Abubakar and Peter will join Nasir El-Rufai in the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
He described the 2027 Elections as a shift in power dynamics.
The Social Democratic Party (SDP) is poised to win big in the six states, with a strong showing expected.
SDP will likely dominate in five states, surpassing APC and PDP.
SDP has a strong chance in Nasarawa, Kogi, and Niger, with potential wins in Plateau and Benue if internal party issues are not resolved.
All Progressives Congress (APC) might win big but could lose Ondo and Ekiti state.
A potential revolt could see the APC losing significantly, with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and SDP in a fierce battle.
Agaba said Labour might not field Peter Obi as their candidate in 2027, which will give the PDP and SDP the edge in the region.
SDP will make a strong impact in Delta, Edo, and Cross River, while Rivers State could be a challenging terrain for some politicians, with Rotimi Amaechi potentially playing a key role.
“Atiku is on his way out of the PDP”
Recall that that the PDP presidential candidate in 2023, Ifeanyi Okowa said Atiku is allegedly on his way out of the PDP.
The former Delta state governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, who was Atiku’s running mate in 2023, said the former vice president will soon leave the PDP.
Okowa said he regretted being Atiku’s running mate in 2023 and explained the reason he accepted the VP ticket.
