The North-West zone of the APC has endorsed President Tinubu for a second term, a move that signals early positioning ahead of the 2027 elections. With governance challenges still unresolved, the endorsement reveals more about internal political strategy than public sentiment.
- Governors and stakeholders from seven states declared support in Kaduna.
- The move follows recent criticisms of Tinubu’s handling of economic and security concerns.
- Some APC insiders believe the endorsement aims to pre-empt internal contestation.
- Critics call it tone-deaf amid growing public frustration.
For many Nigerians, especially in the North-West, rising food prices, joblessness, and security threats feel more urgent than another election cycle. While politicians consolidate power, ordinary citizens see the endorsement as yet another elite calculation detached from their daily realities.
This early show of unity raises questions about the APC’s internal dynamics and Nigeria’s broader political landscape. Will other zones follow suit—or will dissenting voices gain traction as 2027 approaches? One thing is clear: the race for the future has already begun.
