The North Central All Progressive Congress ,APC stakeholders including Governors ,the Secretary to the Government of the Federation ,SGF ,on Thursday, May 22, 2025, announced the endorsement of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ,for re-election in 2027.
In a communique read by the Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, at the end of a meeting held Wednesday night May 21,2025 in Abuja ,the Zonal APC stakeholders expressed their unflinching support and confidence in the abilities of the president to move the country forward.
According to the Communique, the motion for the adoption of the President was moved by former Benue state Governor ,and SGF ,George Akume.
The SGF had urged the North Central Zone of the Party to queue behind the President in his re-election bid so that he could continue to execute his administration’s laudable programmes which he said centre on rejiging the economy.
The Zonal leaders of the party, while endorsing the second term ambition of the president, also, appreciated him for the impactful developmental projects ongoing in North Central states.
They particularly referenced such projects on infrastructural facilities, education, road rehabilitation, rural electrification and development, and Agriculture.
In general, the Zonal Party Leaders noted that the region has witnessed remarkable transformation, since the advent of the Tinubu’s Presidency.
“We acknowledge these efforts as a clear demonstration of the president’s sincere commitment to equity and national development..
“Having critically examined the current trajectory of national governance and recognizing the courage,foresight, and tenacity with which President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has steered the ship of state, amidst daunting challenges, we unanimously pass a vote of confidence on his administration.
“In furtherance of this conviction, we wholeheartedly endorse President Tinubu to contest for a second term as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in 2027 to consolidate the gains of his reforms and bring them to full fruition”, the APC zonal leaders noted.
Similarly ,the stakeholders,expressed their confidence in the national leadership of the party headed by Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, especially in promoting party unity, and progressive governance.
Instructively,the Zone had originally been allotted the position of the National Chairman pre-2023 general elections ,with former Governor of Nasarawa state Senator Abdullahi Adamu occupying the seat .
He was, however, forced to resign by president Tinubu immediately after the 2023 polls, making way for Dr Ganduje from the North West region.
“We affirm our unwavering loyalty and alignment with the core ideals of the APC, and express full confidence in the party leadership’s abilities to lead us to future victories”, the APC leaders stated.
Curiously too, contrary to the somewhat widespread criticisms of the regime over its brazenly nepotistic appointments and siting of critical infrastructures, the Zonal APC stakeholders lauded President Tinubu for running an “inclusive and merit based administration .
“While acknowledging several government appointees from the Zone, the leaders appreciated the President for giving the region a sense of belonging.
They, therefore, pledged their unalloyed commitment and loyalty to all efforts aimed at further strengthening the party for future electoral victories.
