The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has applauded the stiff opposition against President Bola Tinubu from the northern region ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
Some stakeholders in the North have vowed that the president’s re-election bid may remain a mirage, citing alleged marginalisation of the region by the Tinubu-led administration.
A former member of the House of Representatives, Muhammad Kazaure, said on Wednesday that Tinubu may lose the 2027 presidential poll by 12 noon of the election day.
Speaking during a gathering of northern elites, the former lawmaker condemned the administration’s continued borrowing and other ‘unwanted’ policies.
Reacting, the spokesperson of the ADC, Bolaji Abdullahi, in a post on his Facebook page, wondered how the president would secure his re-election amid the opposition from the North.
According to him, the region produced 64 per cent of the votes that gave the All Progressives Congress, APC, victory in 2023.
He wrote: “Arewa produced 64% of President Bola TInubu’s total votes in 2023. I don’t know how he is planning to secure his 2nd term without them, as they’re now clearly against his reelection.”
