The Director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thoughts, Dr. Sam Amadi, has suggested that President Bola Tinubu is likely to win the middle belt in the 2027 election.

Amadi predicts that it depends on just two ‘games’ from Tinubu and Mr Peter Obi of the Labour Party and he would call the zone for Tinubu.
The former Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, stated this in a post on X on Saturday.
The statement follows the speculation about the defection of former Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Prof. Isa Pantami, from the All Progressives Congress, APC, to the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
Amadi suggested that such political development is making it easier for PresidentTinubu to gain support in the middle belt.
He said: “They are making it easier for Tinubu to win the Middlebelt. It depends on just two games from Tinubu and Peter Obi and I will call the zone for Tinubu.”
