Tinubu Will Still Win In 2027 Despite Criticism, Says APC Chieftain Yusuf

An All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, Abubakar Yusuf, has expressed confidence that President Bola Tinubu will secure victory in the 2027 presidential election despite concerns surrounding the current administration’s performance.

According to reports monitored by Ireporter Online, the former federal lawmaker made the assertion during an appearance on Sunday Politics aired on Channels Television, where he argued that the absence of a formidable and united opposition would ultimately work in favour of the ruling party.

Yusuf noted that while individual opposition figures may possess credibility, their inability to collaborate effectively as a cohesive force diminishes their chances of unseating the incumbent government. He maintained that the APC remains confident heading into the next electoral cycle due to what he described as a lack of serious challenge from rival political blocs.

The APC stalwart further stated that the ruling party is not unsettled by opposition activities, attributing this to persistent divisions among opposition leaders. However, he advised President Tinubu to exercise caution by not placing excessive reliance on support from APC governors, pointing out that several of them may not enjoy strong grassroots backing among voters.

He also warned of potential internal crises within the APC, particularly in relation to candidate selection processes. Yusuf cautioned that any attempt to impose candidates or bypass transparent and fair primaries could lead to internal discord and defections, ultimately weakening the party’s structure ahead of the 2027 elections.
