As Nigeria gears up for the 2027 presidential election, the All Progressives Congress (APC) North West zone has thrown its full support behind President Bola Tinubu. The endorsement came after a major stakeholders’ meeting in Kaduna, bringing together all the governors from the region, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Deputy Senate President, and former governors from the zone.
Other key figures at the gathering included the APC National Chairman, state party chairmen, federal and state legislators, ministers, heads of federal agencies, and senior political appointees. In a statement delivered by Governor Uba Sani, the APC North West Coordinating Governor, the zone reaffirmed its loyalty to the party and promised strong backing for President Tinubu’s vision of prosperity, fairness, and lasting progress for Nigeria.
They praised Tinubu’s leadership, highlighting his bold reforms and steady commitment to moving the country forward, especially in the North West. The statement pointed out that security has improved greatly under his watch, allowing farmers to return to their lands and communities to enjoy peace once again. The zone also noted its growing influence in the federal government, with 12 ministers, important national assembly roles, and key security appointments coming from the region—showing the inclusiveness of Tinubu’s administration.
Infrastructure development was another area of focus, with several major projects either being finished or underway across the North West, signaling a fresh chapter of growth for the region. The meeting concluded by emphasizing that the APC remains strong, united, and increasingly popular nationwide, thanks in large part to Nigerians’ approval of the President and the region’s APC governors.
