ACF and MBF Reject Yilwatda's 70% Vote Prediction for Tinubu

The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) and the Middle Belt Forum (MBF) have expressed disagreement with Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), regarding his prediction that President Bola Tinubu would receive 70% of northern votes in the upcoming 2027 election. Yilwatda made this assertion during the commissioning of the Arewa for Asiwaju secretariat in Abuja, urging northern residents to support Tinubu's re-election based on various infrastructure projects and initiatives undertaken by the administration.

In response, ACF National Publicity Secretary Prof. Tukur Muhammad Baba criticized Yilwatda's statement as disappointing and merely a personal opinion, emphasizing that it is impossible to predict votes that have not yet been cast. He stated that such predictions undermine the democratic process and suggested that they could be seen as attempts to mislead the president about his electoral prospects.
