The Chairman of the North-Central All Progressives Congress (APC) Forum, Alhaji Saleh Zazzaga, has expressed confidence that President Bola Tinubu will win the 2027 presidential election, citing the positive impact of his policies.
In a statement issued in Abuja on Friday, January 3, 2025, Zazzaga said Nigerians would overwhelmingly vote for Tinubu in 2027 as his administration’s reforms would have repositioned the country by then.
Zazzaga, a member of the APC Presidential Campaign Council during the 2023 election, was reacting to comments by Kano State New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) Chairman, Hashimu Suleiman Dungurawa, who had warned Tinubu to prepare for defeat in 2027 due to what he described as “anti-people policies.”

Dungurawa, speaking in Kano on Thursday, January 2, 2025, had stated that Tinubu’s policies, including the removal of the fuel subsidy, would cost him re-election, predicting that NNPP leader Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso would emerge victorious.
However, Zazzaga dismissed the remarks, asserting that Tinubu’s policies were bold and necessary to address long-standing issues in the country.
“There is no magic that will make Tinubu lose the presidential election in 2027,” Zazzaga declared. “The President’s achievements will speak for themselves, and Nigerians will appreciate his efforts to reposition the economy.”
He commended Tinubu for taking steps that previous administrations avoided, such as the removal of the fuel subsidy and the floating of the Naira, adding that these measures were essential for Nigeria’s survival.
“Already, the positive impact of these policies is being felt.
The recent strengthening of the Naira, improvement in oil production, and rise in foreign reserves are clear indicators that the country is on the right path,” he said.
Zazzaga highlighted Tinubu’s contributions to improving the petroleum sector, including the elimination of fuel scarcity and steps to reduce inflation.
He also praised the administration’s tax reforms, which he described as “pro-poor,” designed to support small businesses and the masses.
According to Zazzaga, the North-Central APC Forum has endorsed Tinubu for a second term after assessing his performance in security, infrastructure, the economy, and appointments.
“The North-Central has benefited greatly under Tinubu’s administration, with significant infrastructural projects and improved security that now allow farmers to return to their fields,” he said.
He assured that the Forum would work tirelessly to ensure Tinubu’s re-election, just as it did in the 2023 elections.
“President Bola Tinubu deserves a second term to consolidate on his reforms.
Nigerians should rally behind his administration to achieve sustainable growth and development,” Zazzaga concluded.
