Fayose Says Rigging Elections Is Now Hard, Then Names Tinubu's 2027 Vote Figure

Ayo Fayose went on Channels Television Tuesday night and said something that should worry every Nigerian who still believes the ballot box works. The former Ekiti governor, now Chairman of the Rural Electrification Agency Board under President Tinubu, declared that rigging elections in Nigeria has become very difficult.

His words: "You know, to rig elections is now difficult. Very difficult." He then added, "Politics is not a tea party. Asiwaju will have 12 million votes. Go and write it down."

So a man who spent his career inside the machinery now tells us the machinery no longer works, while at the same time confidently announcing the exact number of votes the sitting president will collect in 2027. If rigging is truly difficult, how does he already know the score? Be honest, does Fayose's 12 million figure sound like a prediction or a plan?
