Ganduje Dismisses Claims of North Rejecting Tinubu for 2027 Presidency

Former APC chairman Abdullahi Ganduje refuted claims that the North would not back Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election, advocating for a Muslim-Muslim ticket. Ganduje highlighted the importance of unity and the need for a Muslim candidate to govern Nigeria post-2027.

He referenced an alleged agreement between Tinubu and late President Muhammadu Buhari regarding the South producing the next president. Ganduje commended Tinubu's reforms and promised economic improvements under his leadership.

Northern youth leaders pledged support for Tinubu's reelection bid, rejecting notions that the North wouldn't vote for him. Meanwhile, APC chieftain Farouk Aliyu expressed concerns over a Christian-Christian presidential ticket, stating it might alienate Muslim voters in the North.

The debate around the ticket composition for the 2023 and 2027 elections continues, with a focus on maintaining Muslim representation in key political positions.
