The National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof Nentawe Yilwatda, has expressed optimism that Nigerians would vote for President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
Naijaonpoint reports that Yilwatda boasted on Wednesday, while featuring on ‘Sunrise Daily’, a programme on Channels Television.
According to him, every member of the APC has endorsed Tinubu for a second term, and Nigerians will vote for him in the next election as they did in 2023.
He said, “At the summit of the party, the governors, National Assembly members and the entire members of the party that attended that summit endorsed president Tinubu as their preferred candidate for 2027.
“We are the party that listens to the voice of our members. If the members of the party endorsed him, the party will of course go along with him. That’s our position as a party. We will go with the voices of our members and what they stand for.
“Nigerians voted Tinubu as president in 2023, they will do the same in 2027.”
In other news, former presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Adewole Adebayo, has said President Bola Tinubu inherited a poorly managed economy from his predecessor, Muhammadu Buhari, which he likened to ‘an emergency room patient.’
Speaking on Channels Television on Tuesday, Adebayo noted that while Tinubu had managed to stabilise the economy to some extent, the root causes of Nigeria’s economic malaise remained unresolved.
“The economy that President Buhari left was poorly managed, and was an emergency room patient. What President Tinubu has done is to stabilise the patient, but I’m not sure he has managed to know the ailment. So the patient is not going to die imminently, but he hasn’t found a cure,” Adebayo said.
