In a stunning political prediction, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Benjamin Kalu has declared that President Bola Tinubu will secure 70-80% of Igbo votes in the 2027 presidential election.

Kalu made this bold claim during a visit to Ntalakwu, Abia State, stating it would be the Igbo people's way of repaying Tinubu for establishing the South-East Development Commission (SEDC) - a promise he said previous administrations ignored for 50 years.

"No other President remembered post-war promises to Ndi Igbo like Tinubu," Kalu emphasized. "He signed and funded the SEDC bill when others refused. We remember those who love us."
The Deputy Speaker's remarks come amid ongoing debates about Igbo political alignment ahead of 2027. While some see this as a strategic move for greater inclusion, others question whether Tinubu's administration has done enough to warrant such overwhelming support.

Political observers note this prediction could significantly impact 2027 campaign strategies, potentially reshaping traditional voting patterns in the South-East.
