GANDUJE URGES NORTHERN POLITICIANS TO SHELVE PRESIDENTIAL AMBITION IN 2027 12-02-25
By Sadiq Aminu The national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Abdullahi Umar-Ganduje, has advised northern politicians nursing presidential ambition for the 2027 general election to shelve the idea.
Dr Ganduje gave the advice when he played host to the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Media Centre (PBAT Media Centre) and Tinubu Northern Youth Forum (TNYF), at the APC National Secretariat in Abuja.
This he said is because incumbent President Bola Tinubu will serve two terms in office.
“When a leader from the northern part of this country was in office for eight years, we advocated that the next president in our party should come from the South.
“And luckily enough, we worked very hard with the cooperation of Nigerians. Our president has come from the South and is going for the second term in 2027. And then after that, it will return to the northern part of this country.
The APC chairman observed that the current hardship being faced in the country was as a result of many things that went wrong over a long period of time and required reforms before the country could get it right.
Ganduje added that the people have started seeing the outcome of the reforms, especially on the economic front that will continue to yield positive results.
The leader of the PBAT Media Centre and the Special Assistant to the President on Social Media, Olusegun Dada, said members of the centre were set to correct all the wrong narratives against the Tinubu administration.
The national coordinator Tinubu Northern Youth Forum, Auwal Ibrahim, said his group has perfected plans to deliver five million votes to the President in 2027 presidential election.
