Political Leaders Back Tinubu's 2027 Re-election Campaign

A coalition of prominent political figures has endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's re-election bid for 2027 at a high-level meeting held in Jos. The endorsement was organized by Arewa for Asiwaju (A4A) and involved a voice vote.

Edwin Olofu, Head of Media Relations for A4A, announced the endorsement in a statement on November 13, 2026. The meeting was chaired by Senator Simon Lalong (Plateau South), former Governor and Deputy Chairman of the A4A Board of Trustees.

Participants, including former Governor Chief Joshua Dariye, praised Tinubu for his contributions to Plateau State and Nigeria's overall development, arguing he deserves a second term to continue his work. Muhammad Badaru Abubakar, Director General of A4A and former Governor, called on Northern Nigeria to support Tinubu, emphasizing that the commitment shown at the meeting would enhance the APC's chances in the upcoming elections.

The meeting concluded with a reaffirmation of A4A's dedication to grassroots mobilization and campaign efforts for the 2027 general elections.
