The Zamfara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has thrown its weight behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s bid for a second term in office. This endorsement comes ahead of the 2027 general elections in Nigeria. The decision was made during a political gathering in Talata Mafara Local Government Area, which was led by Senator Abdulaziz Yari, representing Zamfara West.
The motion to endorse President Tinubu was moved by Senator Sahabi Ya’u, who represents Zamfara North, and was seconded by Abdulmalik Zubairu, a member of the House of Representatives representing Maru/Bungudu Federal Constituency. Senator Yari addressed party members, emphasizing that the APC, both in Zamfara and nationally, does not have a better candidate than President Tinubu. He cited the president’s achievements over the last two years as the basis for this endorsement.
The meeting, which focused on fostering party unity in preparation for the 2027 elections, was well-attended by a cross-section of party stakeholders. These included former deputy governors, current and former lawmakers, commissioners, and party executives. The gathering underscores the APC’s strategy to present a united front as the country approaches another electoral cycle.
President Tinubu’s administration has been in office since 2023, and the endorsement by the Zamfara State chapter of the APC is an early indication of support for his re-election bid. The 2027 general elections are expected to be pivotal, with various political parties and candidates vying for different offices across Nigeria.
The APC’s early endorsement of President Tinubu suggests a level of confidence in his leadership and the party’s desire to build on the achievements of his first term. As political activities gear up towards the 2027 elections, such endorsements will be closely watched by political analysts and the general public. They provide insight into the political landscape and the strategies that parties are adopting to secure victories in the upcoming elections.
The move by the Zamfara State APC chapter to endorse President Tinubu for a second term reflects the ongoing political maneuvering in Nigeria as the country prepares for its next general elections. With the electoral process expected to intensify in the coming months, endorsements like these will play a significant role in shaping the political narrative and influencing voter decisions.
