Nigeria’s Governing Party Supports President Tinubu’s Bid for Re-election in 2027

Nigeria’s ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), has endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as its sole candidate for the 2027 presidential election. This announcement came during a stakeholders’ meeting in Talata Mafara, Zamfara State, where party leaders unanimously supported Tinubu’s candidacy through a voice vote involving representatives from all local government areas and wards in the state. Abdulaziz Yari, the Zamfara APC leader, reiterated the electorate’s approval of Tinubu’s leadership and the party’s commitment to his re-election.

This endorsement mirrors a larger trend within the APC, as numerous state chapters and party stakeholders nationwide are rallying behind Tinubu’s second term. In Delta State, for instance, both Tinubu and Governor Sheriff Oborevwori were endorsed as the party’s candidates, with party members expressing confidence in their governance.

Similarly, in Kano State, a meeting of stakeholders led by former APC National Chairman Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje resulted in a collective endorsement for Tinubu, emphasizing party unity and support for the President’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

These endorsements are part of a broader initiative by various APC factions and support groups, such as the BAT Vanguard, which has pledged to mobilize 10 million votes for Tinubu’s re-election.

Overall, the APC’s consolidated support for President Tinubu signals a strategic approach to ensure continuity and stability as the party gears up for the 2027 elections, demonstrating a concerted effort to strengthen its position in the political landscape.
