As Nigeria prepares for the pivotal 2027 presidential election, political analysts have underscored the unwavering support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu continues to receive from the North-West geopolitical zone. Public affairs analyst Olaniyi Olawale recently shed light on why this region is poised to firmly back Tinubu’s bid for a second term.
According to Olawale, the North-West’s loyalty to Tinubu stems from several key factors rooted in both political and developmental gains. First, the All Progressives Congress (APC) leadership in the North-West remains largely united behind the President’s agenda, appreciating his efforts to bring stability, economic reforms, and infrastructural development to the zone. Recent endorsements from major North-West stakeholders, including governors, legislators, and party leaders, signal a consolidated front for Tinubu’s 2027 campaign.
Olawale further explains that the President’s strategic inclusion of North-West leaders in federal appointments and policy decisions has fostered a sense of belonging and recognition. The region currently enjoys significant federal representation, with numerous ministers, national assembly leaders, and security officers originating from the zone, a tangible proof of Tinubu’s commitment to regional inclusion.
Another important reason for the North-West’s support is the marked improvement in security under Tinubu’s watch, a factor that has allowed the revival of agricultural activities and boosted socio-economic conditions. Community peace and ongoing infrastructural projects across the area also contribute to the positive perception of Tinubu’s leadership.
Olawale adds that the North-West population’s belief in the APC’s growing national appeal and sustained grassroots mobilization further strengthens their resolve to back the President. The region’s political actors view Tinubu’s leadership as a catalyst for continued prosperity and equity, preparing them to play a decisive role in shaping the country’s political landscape come 2027.
With such a robust base in the North-West, President Tinubu’s 2027 campaign appears poised for significant momentum, fueled by political unity, strategic inclusivity, and ongoing efforts to deliver tangible development outcomes.
