‘No Opposition from Northerners, Tinubu Has Their Support in 2027’ – Shagari

Muktar Shagari, a former Deputy Governor of Sokoto State, has refuted claims that Northerners will oppose President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election.
According to reports, while answering questions on Arise Television’s Morning Show on Friday, Shagari stated that the North will provide Tinubu with all of the assistance he requires to win the 2027 elections.
According to him, Tinubu has been able to carry out his campaign pledges and plans for Nigerians, and he believes that the President requires a second term.

Shagari maintained that Tinubu is doing well, particularly in security, and that Northerners have nothing against him.

He stated, “We in the APC have complete faith in President Bola Tinubu’s abilities to lead this country efficiently. When he became office, many individuals expressed concern about the country’s economy and the need for extreme measures. The President is doing everything he can to improve our country, and the results show that the country is slowly moving forward, and I believe we will get there.

“So that President Tinubu can implement the initiatives he promised Nigerians, he needs a second term, and we in the APC trust in him and feel he has the competence and capability to do so.

“What we can do is provide him moral and political support while ensuring that no one distracts him by contesting against him. So what the party accomplished yesterday at the North-West and national levels is totally correct and constitutional, and we will provide him with all of the support he requires to win this election.

“And I want to point out that there are many who say, “Oh no, Nigerians, northerners, and so on will not vote for Trump.” We in the north have no animosity toward President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. He’s doing quite well in the field of security. I can tell that security is getting better. And he is doing a lot of stuff. So, as far as I’m concerned, and as far as the rest of the APC is concerned, we will support Tinubu, and I am convinced that he will win the election in 2027.
