Idris Zekeri, a prominent Nigerian political analyst and media strategist, has publicly predicted a major electoral defeat for the ruling All Progressives Congress in the upcoming election cycle, specifically pointing toward a significant political shift within the South-South region.
According to a video posted on the official YouTube channel of SYMFONI on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, while discussing the nation's unfolding political landscape, he stated, “the first state that President Tinubu will lose in Nigeria will be Edo State.”
The current spokesman for the Peter Obi Media Reach emphasized that voters in the region are becoming increasingly critical of government policies. He argued that the political momentum has shifted considerably away from the current administration recently.
Zekeri further explained that economic realities on the ground are influencing public opinion faster than political campaigns. He noted that citizens are looking for tangible results and accountability, which will directly impact the final numbers at the polls.
The analyst maintained that structural issues within the local party chapters are creating deeper divisions. He observed that these internal frictions will make it incredibly difficult for the ruling party to secure its traditional strongholds during election day.
As opposition strategies continue to align across different states, Zekeri believes the political map will look vastly different. He asserted that grassroots mobilization is intensifying, creating a formidable challenge for the president’s team across the country.
In his concluding remarks, the media strategist reiterated that democratic awareness has significantly improved among everyday Nigerians. He advised political actors to focus on genuine governance rather than relying on outdated political structures to win future elections.
