APC Affirms Tinubu's Support for Northern Candidates
The All Progressives Congress (APC) Kaduna State chapter announced that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has previously supported four northern candidates for the presidency, asserting that the north will remain loyal to him in the upcoming 2027 election. Mohammed Sani Haruna, the Kaduna State APC Publicity Secretary, noted that Tinubu backed late Gen. Shehu Musa Yar’adua in 1992 and provided his political platform, the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar in 2007.
Haruna also mentioned Tinubu's support for Nuhu Ribadu, the former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, and highlighted Tinubu's backing of Muhammadu Buhari in 2015, which led to Buhari's election victory after three previous unsuccessful attempts. The APC emphasized that Kaduna's selection as the campaign flag-off location symbolizes solidarity with northern Nigeria, given its historical significance and the leadership of Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani.
