Dr Musa Illiyasu Kwankwaso, a member of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, has predicted a landslide victory for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election, pointing to growing support from politicians in different parties.
Kwankwaso, who serves as Director of Finance at the Hadejia-Jama’are River Basin Development Authority, made the prediction in a statement released in Abuja on Thursday.
He said politicians from APGA, Labour Party, PDP and Accord Party joining Tinubu’s re-election campaign showed increasing confidence in his leadership and economic reforms.
“To me, the inauguration of the Presidential Campaign Council is like a congregation celebrating the re-election of President Tinubu back to office. What else remains when the same Nigerians we are supposed to campaign for have collectively come forward in unison for one person Tinubu?” he said.
He described the growing support across party lines as unprecedented in Nigeria’s political history.
“It has never happened in Nigeria’s political history that one man could attract nearly all opposition parties not only opposition politicians, but people who have never agreed to sit together yet, because of Tinubu, they have agreed to come on board and pursue a common goal.”
Kwankwaso also referred to remarks by Anambra Governor Chukwuma Soludo, saying leaders were recognising the value of Tinubu’s economic reforms despite global challenges.
“The 2027 presidential election is not just about political survival; it is a defining moment for Nigeria’s economic future. President Tinubu deserves the opportunity to consolidate his policies despite the temporary difficulties associated with these necessary reforms,” he said.
On Kano politics, Kwankwaso expressed confidence that politicians from different parties would back Tinubu’s re-election alongside Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf and Deputy Governor Murtala Sule Garo.
