Barau Jibrin Says APC Is Strong and Ready to Win Big in 2027 Elections
Deputy Senate President Senator Barau Jibrin is confident that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) will win big in the 2027 general elections. Speaking at the APC Northwest Zonal meeting organized by Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani, he called on party members to stay united and keep backing the President to ensure continued progress and electoral success.
Barau said, “Insha’Allah, we are headed for a landslide victory in 2027. Let’s keep working together, support the President, and stay united to reach our goals.” He credited the recent wave of defections from opposition parties to the APC’s growing appeal, which he linked to Tinubu’s leadership and efforts in addressing Nigeria’s security and economic problems.
“The increasing number of opposition members joining our party is no coincidence. It reflects the positive changes under President Tinubu’s leadership,” Barau noted. “Security in the Northwest has improved a lot. Areas that were once dangerous, like Birnin Gwari and parts of the Abuja-Kaduna corridor, are now safe and accessible.”
While acknowledging there is still work to be done, he stressed that the administration’s ongoing reforms and projects show they are moving in the right direction. “We are making progress. The President is working hard to tackle the nation’s challenges, especially insecurity in the North.” Barau also praised APC governors for their commitment to grassroots development, saying their efforts strengthen the party’s influence across the region.
He applauded APC National Chairman Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje for promoting unity and growth within the party, urging all members and leaders to continue collaborating. “With the strength we have now and the momentum building, it feels like no other party can match us, especially in the Northwest,” he said. “Let’s stay focused, united, and determined to deliver a big victory in 2027.”
The Presidency has reacted to the ongoing dispute between former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi and the state government over the state’s finances.
Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, said Obi had claimed he left Anambra debt-free and promised to stop his presidential campaign if proven wrong.
Onanuga said the Anambra government had presented figures showing outstanding obligations to workers, pensioners and contractors under Obi’s administration.
Obi, however, denied the claims, saying his administration cleared over ₦35 billion in historical gratuities and arrears before leaving office.
“If anybody can establish anything to the contrary, I will stop campaigning,” Obi said.
Nigerian socialite Cubana Chief Priest has spoken about why he believes Igbos are supporting President Bola Tinubu’s bid for re-election in the 2027 presidential election.
He said the president’s son, Seyi Tinubu, has given Igbos greater access to the president.
He said “We Igbos now have access to Mr. President Tinubu through his son, Seyi Tinubu. That’s why we’re doing everything to make sure he’s re-elected.”
Cubana Chief Priest also spoke about the growing support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Imo State, saying “Thousands of Imolites are trooping in for registration for APC. Ndi Imo don’t just love the City Boys Movement, they believe in it. Let’s do politics with lifestyle. On Asiwaju’s mandate, we shall stand. Imo is APC. Here, it’s zero competition.”
Spiritual leader Primate Elijah Ayodele warns the APC against being too confident ahead of the 2027 election.
He shared “Overconfidence will kill APC; they will be too overconfident, and that will be the party’s weakness in the election. They will turn Tinubu to a demi-god, but it will make them lose the election. They believe money can do everything, but it will fail in the 2027 election,” Ayodele said.
Ayodele has repeatedly warned the APC not to assume that its current political strength will automatically translate into victory in 2027.
