Accord Party candidate Pelumi Olajengbesi has asserted that President Bola Tinubu is on track to secure more than one million votes in Osun State during Nigeria’s 2027 presidential election.
Olajengbesi, running under the banner of the minor Accord Party, made the statement as the nation approaches the next general election cycle, highlighting his confidence in Tinubu’s support within the southwestern state.
Osun State, located in Nigeria’s southwest, is a key electoral region with a population that exceeds three million residents, making it a significant battleground for presidential candidates.
Bola Tinubu, the incumbent president who first took office in 2023, is seeking re‑election in 2027. While he is the candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), his projected vote tally in Osun has been noted by opposition figures such as Olajengbesi.
The claim of a one‑million‑plus vote count remains a projection; official voter registration numbers and polling data for the 2027 election have not yet been released.
