The National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Ajibola Bashiru has said that there is no vacancy in the Nigeria Presidency in 2027.
Senator Bashiru stated this in Ibadan on Monday, while featuring at a round table talk organized by the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) Zone B held at the Iyaganku Press Centre.
The APC National Secretary pointed out that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and the on going coalition of some politicians in the country cannot be a threat to President Bola Tinubu second term reelection
He stressed that the opposition leaders joining coalition force against President Tinubu should wait till 2031 as there is no vacancy in Aso Rock in 2027, adding that most of the politicians behind the so called coalition are not sincere and are being driving by selfish interest urging Nigerians not to allow opposition leaders to put them in their confused state of the mind.
“You can’t talk of coalition in a Presidential system of government, you can’t be in Labour Party and at the same time be in ADC.Coalition is not only strange to our political system, it is unknown and absolutely depicting state of confusion of those who are engaging in the act”, he said.
Senator Bashiru added, “No serious politician will abandoned a veritable, strong, competent and capable electoral machinery like APC and go and join an unknown organisation.”
On the insinuation that the North are ganging up against the reelection of President Tinubu in the 2027, the APC National Secretary said “it is a lie from the pit of hell”
The North is absolutely in support of APC, one of the greatest support the party is enjoying is from the North. Only people who don’t have the love of the North at heart will say Tinubu should not be reelected. President Tinubu is detrabilise, true Nigeria and a patriot.
“Go to the streets of Kano, Kaduna Katsina and Gombe and see how Asiwaju is being celebrated. As the National Secretary of our party, I’ve been into almost all states in the North, Northerners are in support of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s reelection 2027 agenda.”
Senator Bashiru stressed ” It’s a lie from the pit of hell to say the North is ganging up against President Tinubu, North today is solidly behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu second term agenda”.
“In katsina, all political party structures has been collapsed to support President Tinubu’s 2027 Agenda.Kaduna state today under Governor Uba Sanni, APC is the only viable electoral machine in that state.
“Today, we have highest numbers of National Assembly members in Kano, Senator Kau had already decamped into our party, we have the Deputy Senate President, the chairman, House Committee on Appropriation is within the APC.
“He maintained, ” Also,Sokoto state under the leadership of Sen. Wamako, we are very strong there, these are facts.Bauchi governor is currently in dilemma, he doesn’t know where to go, we have Sen. Alero in Kebbi state, a former governor who won two Senatorial District on the same day Asiwaju won election, he is within our party.
“I was in Gombe state, and the governor told us that Tinubu is supporting the state with N120 billion to develop livestock in the state, if a state get support of N120 billion, will it not galvanise it’s support for President Tinubu so as to continue to have such benefits.
“Katsina state recently launched mechanisation for 40,000 farmers, these are facts. Governor Yari said they don’t have choice than to support Asiwaju re-election because before Tinubu came, for them to move their food items to the South was like a war.So, when you see what Tinubu is doing in terms of giving support to the North for the development of their economy, security and giving them key appointment in his administration, his victory is sure in the North.”
