A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Anas Adamu Galadima, popularly known as Zam Zam, has urged Northerners to re-elect President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027.

Galadima made the call while speaking to journalists on the sidelines of the APC presidential campaign launch in Kaduna, on Saturday.

He identified political reciprocity, continuity, economic reforms and improved national security as three reasons for the North to support Tinubu’s second term.

He said Tinubu’s role in Buhari’s victory in 2015 and the need to consolidate economic and security gains are reasons for his re-election.

The African Democratic Congress, ADC, has described the All Progressives Congress’ promise to deliver two million votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 general elections as unrealistic.

The party’s ‎candidate for Ringim/Taura Federal Constituency in Jigawa State, Hon. Shehu Sule Udi, stated this while reacting to Jigawa APC’s earlier declaration that it would deliver two million votes to support President Tinubu’s re-election bid.

‎He argued that the number of registered voters in the state, displayed by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, had exposed what he described as political propaganda by the ruling party.

‎According to him, Jigawa State has a total of 2,807,811 registered voters, making APC’s two million votes target unrealistic.
