  "account": "Nigerian political commentator Senator Dayo Adeyeye has predicted that President Bola Tinubu will win the 2027 presidential election, stating that voters should choose a builder over former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar. During an interview with journalists in Abuja, Adeyeye highlighted Tinubu's economic reforms, infrastructure improvements, and policies aimed at enhancing the lives of Nigerians. He praised Tinubu's leadership in the maritime sector, infrastructure development, and privatization efforts, which have led to a significant increase in the revenue of maritime agencies from N700.79 billion in 2023 to N1.83 trillion in 2025. Adeyeye emphasized that Tinubu's accomplishments should be allowed to continue, as he has already undertaken difficult measures for economic recovery. He criticized Atiku, accusing him of being unable to build a political party and of only jumping from one party to another, making him an unreliable choice for the presidency. Adeyeye also discussed Tinubu's support for various Nigerian states and asserted that the APC would win in the North and South during the 2027 election, with the President receiving the majority of votes.",
