APC's Dalori Predicts Tinubu's Victory Over Atiku in 2027

On October 28, Ali Bukar Dalori, the Deputy National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), expressed confidence that President Tinubu will defeat former Vice President Atiku Abubakar in the North-East geopolitical zone during the 2027 presidential election. Dalori made these remarks at a graduation ceremony for women trained under the Tinubu-Shettima Village-to-Village campaign.

He based his assessment on his grassroots experience and the current political landscape. Dalori dismissed concerns regarding Atiku's home-state advantage, noting that the North-East includes Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba, and Yobe.

He highlighted ongoing federal infrastructure projects, such as road construction on key corridors, as a reason for his optimism. Additionally, he pointed out the political networks of Vice President Kashim Shettima, who is from Borno, as a significant advantage for the APC.

Farida Musa Jauro, National Coordinator of the campaign, pledged support for Tinubu's re-election, targeting over one million votes from northern Nigeria through grassroots efforts.
