Nigeria APC Endorses Tinubu For 2027 Second Term

Nigeria's ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has officially endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a second term in the 2027 election, with several party leaders and zonal stakeholders expressing strong confidence in his leadership and reforms. Former Deputy Governor Muktar Shagari and other APC members emphasized that the endorsement aims to prevent internal party distractions and allow Tinubu to focus on completing his reform agenda, despite economic challenges affecting the country. Leaders from the North Central APC zone highlighted ongoing developmental projects and improvements in infrastructure, education, and security under Tinubu's administration as reasons for their support. Meanwhile, opposition leaders from various parties, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, have united to challenge Tinubu in the forthcoming election. Tinubu's reforms, such as phasing out fuel subsidies and liberalizing the naira exchange rate, have been praised internationally but have also contributed to a cost of living crisis impacting many Nigerians. Despite political tensions, northern leaders maintain that they have no grievances against Tinubu and are poised to back his re-election bid.
