2027: Tinubu’s Second Term is Certain, Says APC Forum

Alhaji Saleh Zazzaga, the chairman of the North-Central All Progressives Congress (APC) Forum, has said that no force can stop President Bola Tinubu from winning the 2027 presidential election.
Zazzaga said in a statement released in Abuja on Friday, January 3, 2025, that he is confident Nigerians will vote in favor of Tinubu for a second term in government in 2027 since by then, his programs should have improved the country.
According to reports, Zazzaga, who is also a member of the 2023 APC Presidential Campaign Council, made these remarks in response to remarks made by Kano State New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) leader Hashimu Suleiman Dungurawa.

Tinubu was recently warned by Dungurawa to expect loss if he decides to run for a second term in 2027.

Dungurawa asserted at a news conference in Kano on Thursday, January 2, 2025, that Tinubu’s policies, which are seen as harmful to the people, would cause Nigerians to vote him out in 2027.

“Just get ready for defeat in the next general elections with these severe anti-masses policies and your stance on them,” he warned. Dungurawa threatened Tinubu, saying that NNPP national leader Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso would defeat him in 2027. “You either change them or we Nigerians together will change you,” Dungurawa said.

“It is only a question of time, but we will make sure that Tinubu leaves in 2027 and Kwankwaso, a true democrat, takes over, given these issues and many more that the APC government created.”

In 2027, Tinubu won’t be stopped by magic.
In reaction to the NNPP leader’s comments, Zazzaga underlined that Tinubu’s APC is guaranteed to retain the presidency in 2027.

Zazzaga claimed that Tinubu’s “courageous measures,” such as the removal of the gasoline subsidy and the floating of the Naira, were necessary steps to move the country in the right direction.

He stated that Tinubu should be commended for taking actions that, in his opinion, earlier administrations were hesitant to take and that he was confident Nigerians will soon benefit from these policies.

“Tinubu will not lose the 2027 presidential election due to magic. The APC government led by President Bola Tinubu will undoubtedly serve a second term in office. This is not because of the incumbency factor, but rather because the President is doing well and Nigerians would value his accomplishments by 2027.

“President Tinubu’s initiatives, like eliminating subsidies and floating the Naira, are essential measures that had to be implemented for the benefit of the nation.

“President Tinubu deserves praise for his bravery in making the choices that were essential to the nation’s existence because earlier administrations did not act appropriately.

“By the time the next elections roll around, Nigeria’s economy will have completely shifted back on the path of sustainable growth, leaving Nigerians with no option but to elect President Tinubu for a second term. The benefits of eliminating the subsidy and floating the Naira are already being felt.”

With the recent strengthening of the Naira in the foreign currency market, an improvement in the amount of oil produced, and an increase in foreign reserves, among other things, President Tinubu’s economic measures are already having the anticipated effect. Scarcity has already been eradicated by President Tinubu’s petroleum sector reforms, and we anticipate that Nigerians would eventually see additional price reductions for petroleum goods, which would reverse the nation’s inflation.

Zazzaga stated, “I think all Nigerians should support President Bola Tinubu’s administration to improve the situation in the country, and he deserves a second term to midwife these reforms, which are already bearing fruit.”

Tinubu is leading Nigeria in the right direction, as seen by his policies.
According to the APC leader, Tinubu’s proposed tax reforms, which he described as “pro-poor,” will benefit the general public and encourage the expansion of small businesses.

Zazzaga further underlined that the North-Central APC Forum had given Tinubu favorable grades in a number of categories, including infrastructure, the economy, security, appointments, and more, after assessing the performance of his administration and expressing support for his reelection.

“A review of President Bola Tinubu’s initiatives demonstrates that he is leading the nation in the right direction and must have the backing of all Nigerians to see it through to completion.

“The North-Central APC Forum assessed the Federal Government’s programs and initiatives, and it is clear that President Bola Tinubu has provided the North-Central with more possibilities than any previous president since Nigeria’s current democratic regime.

“The Tinubu administration has brought more infrastructure projects to the North-Central than any other president.

Insecurity in the North-Central region is much lower than it was during earlier regimes. Due to insecurity, it was previously challenging for our people, who are primarily farmers, to get to their farms.

However, Zazzaga continued, “the people can now go to farms to cultivate and harvest their crops because of the leadership provided by Mr. President, who has given marching orders to the Armed Forces and other security agencies.”

He emphasized that the North-Central APC Forum will campaign for Tinubu’s reelection in 2027, just as it did in the 2023 election.
