Former President Jonathan, who served one term before his defeat in 2015, has been the subject of speculation regarding a potential run for the presidency in 2027.
The African Democratic Congress, ADC, chieftain said: “My prayer is that they should run like that (different political platforms) and Asiwaju will win 32 states.
“He may lose maybe Anambra, Abia, he will win Ebonyi; he may win more than 32 states.”
On Tinubu being popular, he said: “I just came from Kano, I was in Kano on Wednesday and I slept there. I came to Kaduna by road yesterday morning.
“No insecurity, the road is very good, then I came by train to Abuja this morning and I can tell you that people are happy.”
