Northern leaders declare Tinubu sole presidential candidate of APC in 2027
The All Progressives Congress on Saturday in Talata Mafara, Zamfara, announced President Bola Tinubu as its sole candidate for the 2027 election.
The party leaders in the state announced the endorsement of the president at the party’s stakeholders’ meeting.
The endorsement followed a voice vote from seven ward leaders of the APC across the wards in the 14 LGAs.
Abdulaziz Yari (APC-Zamfara West) and the leader of the party in Zamfara, who called for the endorsement, said the Zamfara electorate was satisfied with Mr Tinubu’s leadership.
Sahabi Ya’u (APC-Zamfara North) moved the motion, and it was seconded by Abdulmalik Zubairu (APC-Bungudu-Maru).
Mr Yari said the president was addressing all the challenges, particularly banditry and kidnapping, faced by states in the North-West, especially Zamfara, Sokoto, Kebbi, and Katsina.
Mr Yari called on the APC supporters to unite themselves, stand firm, and ensure Tinubu was returned in 2027.
According to him, unity among the party’s factions or groups in the state is crucial for the APC to succeed in 2027.
Mr Yari assured the APC supporters of efforts by him and deputy defence minister Bello Matawalle to tackle all the problems plaguing Zamfara.
The event was attended by three APC senators, serving and former members of the House of Representatives, former deputy governors, and Bashir Yuguda, a former deputy finance minister. Serving and former state assembly members, former commissioner, and special advisers, among other party stakeholders in the state, attended the event. The state party executives, local government, and ward executives of the party also attended the meeting.
