Nigeria, Sept. 16 -- Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has said President Bola Tinubu will defeat former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi in the 2027 presidential election, even if the two opposition figures unite to run.

Mr Fayose spoke on Channels Television's Politics Today on Tuesday.

He said the opposition would face an even greater challenge if Atiku and Mr Obi contested separately because their votes would be divided.

"A three-way horse, maybe I am not putting it right. Atiku is there, Obi is there. Even if they come together, this man will still defeat them. But let us say they don't come together, too bad for them because this election will be balkanised," he said.
