Ahead of the 2027 general elections, a former lawmaker, Honourable Farouk Aliyu, says President Bola Tinubu is the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Aliyu, a former Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, stated: “In our own party, we have our candidate in the President. There is no qualm about it.”
“We know our candidate and will work for him by the grace of God,” he stated.
He also commented on Nasir El-Rufai’s recent resignation from the ruling APC, recalling how the former Kaduna State governor galvanised support for President Bola Tinubu in 2023.
Aliyu explained that El-Rufai, once a close ally of President Tinubu and a key figure in the APC’s electoral victories in 2015, 2019 and 2023, led his then northern governors to secure Tinubu’s electoral victory.
