2027: Northeast APC declares support for Tinubu/Shettima ticket

The Northeast regional wing of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has thrown its full support behind the Tinubu/Shettima presidential ticket ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The endorsement was formally announced on Sunday during the Northeast APC Consultative Meeting held in Gombe, the capital of Gombe State.
The high-profile event drew a large turnout of party faithful, including Governors Babagana Umara Zulum of Borno State, Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State, and Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe State.
Senior party leaders and stakeholders from across the zone were also in attendance.
The forum praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima for what they described as transformational leadership in the short time they have been in office, driven by the administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
Governor Yahaya said, “The Northeast is fully behind the president and the vice president. Their leadership has brought renewed hope to this region.”
In his address, Governor Zulum highlighted key achievements of the current administration over the past two years, particularly in sectors such as health, education, youth and women empowerment, revenue generation, and overall improvement in citizens’ welfare.
He emphasised that continuity of the Tinubu/Shettima ticket in 2027 would sustain the ongoing progress and national unity.
Also speaking, the National Chairman of the APC, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, said “we need unity more than ever. This region delivered over 1.2 million votes in 2023. In 2027, we expect three times that. But we must remain focused and disciplined as a party.”
“This zone has produced the number two of this country, we are proud of this zone, we are proud of the north and we are proud of Nigeria as a nation.
“I have to tell you, we have a progressive president, the leader of our party Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and we are proud of his deputy, his vice president, it is a one ticket according to the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria”, Ganduje said.
Among other dignitaries present were the Deputy National Chairman (North), Alhaji Ali Bukar Dalori; and several other senior members of the party.
