Former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Abdullahi Ganduje, has insisted that no politician from Southern Nigeria is better suited to lead the country beyond 2027 than President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Ganduje made the assertion in Abuja while hosting a delegation of youth leaders from Northern Nigeria, representing all 19 northern states.

During the meeting, he rejected claims that the North would resist Tinubu’s re-election bid, describing such speculation as misguided.

“There is no better candidate to govern Nigeria beyond 2027 from the southern Nigeria than Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” Ganduje stated.

He cautioned critics against assuming that Northern voters would shift their support to another candidate in the next presidential election.

“Pertaining to the next election in 2027, those that are nursing or thinking otherwise that the north will vote another candidate other than Asiwaju are making a big mistake,” he warned.

According to Ganduje, Tinubu possesses rare political credentials that distinguish him from others, adding that Nigeria is fortunate to have a president whose entire life has been shaped by political engagement and democratic struggle.

“This is the first time Nigeria as a nation is lucky to have a politician as president; his constituency is politics, his upbringing is politics because he believes in the unity of this country,” he said.

The former Kano State governor also recalled Tinubu’s role in Nigeria’s pro-democracy movement, emphasizing his sacrifices during the military era.

“In fact, he struggled; he was even in exile for democracy to survive in Nigeria. So, there is no better person to be elected in 2027 than Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” Ganduje added.

He further referred to an earlier political agreement reached ahead of the election of former President Muhammadu Buhari, which, according to him, ensured that power would return to the South after eight years in office.


“Asiwaju has only been there for less than four years now, and we have seen the measures, the reforms that he undertook,” Ganduje said. “The reforms that he introduced in order to improve the social economic development of this country.”

No northern candidate more honest than Ganduje or less radical than El Rufai.

franchasng:
What Ganduje is saying is that there are Northerners that will govern Nigeria better than Tinubu but there are no Southerner that will govern Nigeria better than Tinubu, if you don't gerrit, forget aboutrit

EyeCumInPiece:
After Tinubu's fiasco in Turkey, anybody still rooting for him to be president for another 4years, is both evil and unpatriotic.

Richtaiwo:
This is precisely why the lamba King of agulu land continues to indoctrinate his intellectually uncritical followers. What is actually said is never what he relays to them, yet they swallow his version unquestioningly and accept it as absolute truth.

Now, where exactly did you get this version of what Ganduje said, which was expressed in plain and unambiguous English? It is necessary to ask, because I know this your unfounded version will soon begin to gain traction.

MEGAWATCH:
You will never understand that statement until the mess Tinubu up and many of you will jump into the lagoon and pepper will rest for Una head.
