The African Democratic Congress, ADC, has reacted to stiff opposition against President Bola Tinubu from the northern region ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
Some stakeholders in the region have vowed that the president’s re-election bid may remain a mirage, citing alleged marginalisation of the North by the Tinubu-led administration.
Recall that a former member of the House of Representatives, Muhammad Kazaure, on Wednesday said that Tinubu may lose the 2027 presidential election by noon.
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 bid without them, as they’re now clearly against his reelection.”
