And if they ever do that, they’ve lost the confidence they might ever have in any voting system ever!!

I believe Atiku and Amechi has a shocker for Bola.

Don't be surprised when they bargain and step down for Obi at the Last minute.

Nobody wants Tinubu and Wike out more than the Northerners.

What makes you so sure Tinubu won’t win? The polls are saying otherwise

Anybody can win but not Tinubu

As Nigeria gradually approaches the 2027 general elections, political conversations are becoming more intense, with growing questions about who stands the strongest chance of emerging as the country’s next president.

With President Bola Ahmed Tinubu potentially seeking another term and opposition figures positioning themselves for the contest, Nigerians are increasingly interested in what the polls reveal about the political landscape.

But who is actually leading?

What the Polls Are Saying

Recent polling figures from September 2026 suggest that the presidential race is competitive, although different surveys present different pictures.

According to figures attributed to SBM Intelligence, a September poll placed the NDC at 42.2%, ahead of the APC at 25.5%.

Meanwhile, an Oxford–Metro Analytics poll reportedly placed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at 35.41%, Peter Obi at 33.86%, and Atiku Abubakar at 26.67%.

Another online poll, identified as the Tinubu Must Go poll, reportedly recorded 73.6% for Atiku/Amaechi and 22.3% for Obi/Kwankwaso.

These figures highlight the diversity of political opinions and the difficulty of identifying a clear national frontrunner from the available surveys.

It is also important to remember that online polls do not necessarily represent the views of the wider Nigerian electorate.

The Opposition Question: Can They Unite?

One major factor that could shape the 2027 presidential election is the ability of opposition politicians to work together.

Names such as Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar continue to feature prominently in conversations about the next election.

However, the opposition’s ability to present a united front could be just as important as the popularity of individual candidates.

A divided opposition could create a different electoral dynamic from one in which major political figures rally behind a common candidate.

Economic Conditions Could Influence Voters

Beyond political parties and personalities, Nigeria’s economic situation remains an important issue for voters.

The cost of living, inflation, unemployment, insecurity, fuel prices and the general standard of living are likely to feature prominently in discussions about the country’s future leadership.

For many Nigerians, the question may not simply be which political party should govern, but which candidate has a convincing plan to address the country’s challenges.

A reported Yiaga Africa survey also highlighted public interest in the 2027 election, with 84% of respondents indicating that they were likely or very likely to vote.

The survey further reported that 49% identified the desire for leadership change as their leading motivation.

So, Who Is Leading the 2027 Presidential Race?

At this stage, the available polling figures do not establish one universally accepted national frontrunner.

While some surveys suggest considerable opposition support, others indicate a close contest involving President Tinubu and Peter Obi.

The differences in methodology, sample sizes, geographical coverage and the populations surveyed mean that these figures should be interpreted cautiously.

Ultimately, the strength of each candidate will depend on several factors, including voter turnout, party structures, campaign strategies, opposition unity and the issues that matter most to Nigerians.

Final Thoughts

Nigeria’s 2027 presidential election could become one of the country’s most closely watched political contests.

As the election approaches, Nigerians will be looking beyond political promises and campaign slogans to examine the records, policies and proposed solutions of those seeking their votes.

One thing is certain: the conversation about Nigeria’s next president is already gaining momentum.

What do you think will determine the outcome of the 2027 presidential election: economic hardship, the opposition’s ability to unite, or the popularity of individual candidates?

Facebook CEO’s wedding vs Priscilla Ojo’s wedding!

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, got married to his wife Priscilla Chan, a Buddhist in 2012. Mark is a free thinker and has identified as an atheist in the past. He had a simple wedding and his wife was dressed in a decent white gown.

Priscilla Ojo(Christian) and hubby,Juma Jux( Muslim) had a talk of the town, expensive and lavish wedding . The Christian sister wore a gown which showed too much of her cleavage and parts of her br£asts. The Muslim brother wore ear rings. A high ranking Pastor overlooked all and officiated the wedding.
