The North-Central All Progressives Congress (APC) Forum Chairman, Alhaji Saleh Zazzaga, has confidently stated that President Bola Tinubu’s victory in the 2027 presidential election is assured, dismissing criticisms from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).
Zazzaga made this assertion on Friday in Abuja while responding to comments by Kano State NNPP Chairman, Hashimu Suleiman Dungurawa.
Earlier, Dungurawa claimed that Nigerians would reject Tinubu in 2027 due to alleged anti-people policies. He said, “With these problems and many more created by the APC government, it is just a matter of time, but we are going to ensure that Tinubu is out in 2027 and Kwankwaso, a true democrat, comes in.”
However, Zazzaga disagreed, emphasizing that Tinubu’s current policies are laying a foundation for a better Nigeria. He credited initiatives like subsidy removal and the floating of the Naira as tough but necessary measures to rebuild the economy.
His words: “There is no magic that will make Tinubu lose the presidential election in 2027. There is no way the President Bola Tinubu-led APC government will not have a second term in office, and this is not because of the incumbency factor, but due to the fact that the President is doing well and his achievements will be appreciated by Nigerians come 2027.”
“The policies introduced by President Tinubu, such as subsidy removal and floating the Naira, are necessary steps that had to be taken for the good of the country.”
“President Tinubu should be commended for his courage in taking the decisions, which became vital to the survival of the country because previous administrations failed to do the right things.”
“Already, the positive impact of the removal of the subsidy and floating the Naira is being felt, and by the time the next elections come around, Nigeria’s economy would have been fully repositioned on the path of sustainable growth that Nigerians would have no choice but to elect President Tinubu for a second term.”
“The economic policies introduced by President Tinubu are already making the expected impact with the recent strengthening of the Naira in the foreign exchange market, improvement in the volume of oil production, and rise in foreign reserves, among others. President Tinubu’s policies in the petroleum sector have already eliminated scarcity, and we believe that, with time, Nigerians will witness further reductions in the cost of petroleum products, which would reverse inflation in the country.”
“President Bola Tinubu deserves a second term to midwife these reforms, which are already bearing fruit, and I believe all Nigerians should support his administration to improve the situation in the country,” Zazzaga said.
