APC Senator Warns Tinubu Against Relying on Governors for 2027 Election
Former federal lawmaker Senator Abubakar Yusuf warned President Bola Tinubu not to depend on APC governors' support for the 2027 election, arguing many lack real popularity with voters. The APC chieftain, speaking on Channels Television's Sunday Politics, suggested the ruling party isn't concerned about opposition due to their lack of unity.
However, Yusuf cautioned that 'implosions' could trigger internal party conflicts around candidate selection, potentially weakening APC if not properly managed. The warning comes as the party begins positioning for the next presidential election cycle.
Political analysts note this reflects ongoing tensions between federal and state leadership structures within the party. With 2027 still two years away, internal dynamics may significantly influence campaign strategy and candidate selection processes.
How do you think this internal party positioning will affect Tinubu's re-election chances and the APC's approach to the next election cycle?
