Biller Questions Tinubu’s Ability to Secure 25% in the North for 2027 Re-Election

In a recent interview, former House member Mark Tersoo Biller questioned President Tinubu’s chances of meeting the constitutional requirement of 25% votes in at least two-thirds of states if he loses significant support in the North. Biller argued that the removal of the fuel subsidy worsened hardships and criticised rising government borrowing alongside unpaid development contractors. He also raised concerns over off-budget spending and urged greater transparency in public finance. On security, he highlighted recurring attacks in Benue State and said the administration has not done enough to protect communities. Voters, he suggested, will judge Tinubu’s record on the economy and insecurity as the 2027 election approaches. Drawing on his role in passing the Petroleum Industry Act, Biller warned against altering laws by executive directive and insisted Nigerians deserve clear explanations on government spending ahead of the next election cycle.

Do you think losing northern support makes it legally impossible for Tinubu to hit that 25 per cent threshold come 2027?

True, without solid northern backing, reaching that 25% mark looks extremely unlikely for him.

The emphasis on two-thirds of states seems to overlook how shifting alliances and voter turnout trends could actually reshape election math.

I'm not convinced fuel subsidy removal is the main reason northern votes dipped—that ignores local party dynamics and candidate appeal.

Tinubu's campaign should focus on grassroots engagement in key northern states, addressing regional concerns beyond just economic policy shifts.
