The Yobe State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has resolved to adopt consensus, as the strategic mode of election to produce its candidates for the governorship, National Assembly, and the 24-member State Assembly seats in the 2027 general elections in the country.

Speaking over the weekend in Damaturu, during the party’s stakeholders’ meeting, Senator Ahmed Lawan, representing Yobe North Senatorial District disclosed: “Out of the two modes contained in the Electoral Act, comprising consensus and direct primaries, the party in the state has chosen to adopt consensus, citing past success.

“From our previous experience, consensus has always worked for us in this state.”

The ex-Senate President noted that, “Any candidate that emerges for any position will receive the support of all party members, including those who might have wished they were the ones picked.”

The ruling party also noted that it has various avenues for reaching out to unsuccessful aspirants, stating, “This is not something new for us to do, particularly as the country”s forthcoming general elections draw nearer.

The Yobe APC, formally therefore endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a second term, pledging to deliver 3.5 million votes to him in the 2027 presidential election.

“We are very mindful of the performance of this administration, the various interventions and reforms introduced by the federal government, which have started yielding very positive results,” said Lawn at the stakeholders meeting.

All State’s APC candidates for governor, National Assembly, and State Assembly are expected, by the grace of God, to receive higher votes than they did in the 2023 general elections.

The party attributed its electorate’s confidence to internal unity, describing Yobe as a political family.

The National Assembly members from the state have also worked very closely and harmoniously with the state government under the APC, especially during the Gaidam administration and the current administration of Buni.

“As a small state, we have produced election results that compare favorably against results from even bigger states. That is because of our unity, the understanding we have shown for each other, and the love we have for each other,” he stated.

Leaders, elders, stakeholders, and other members will continue to support one another and deliver results at the 2027 general polls that compete favorably, by achieving the highest percentage performance in Nigeria.

In return for this enormous political support, the ruling party promised to ensure good governance in the state.

SMerchant:
I will prefer Obi who switched party but gives hope because of his antecedence than a rogue who formed alliances with even the one he claimed was finished in the name of Buhari just to get power and do next to nothing with it.

SmartPolician:
Atiku will want to buy all the delegates and Peter Obi will likely decamp. If that happens, it's going to an easy victory for Tinubu in 2027.

The 2027 election will be my last attempt at contesting for president.

President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday officially commissioned the new Corporate Headquarters of the Nigeria Revenue Service in Abuja.

The event marked the transition from the Federal Inland Revenue Service to the newly restructured Nigeria Revenue Service.

Tinubu, while addressing guests in a video of the unveiling shared by his Special Assistant on Social Media, Dada Olusegun, hailed the agency’s performance and formally declared the building open.

Another video shows the president cutting the ribbon, flanked by the Chairman of the Nigeria Revenue Service, Zacch Adedeji, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, among other government officials.

Tinubu then moved to read the commemorative plaque.

He said, “The corporate headquarters of the Nigeria Revenue Service was commissioned on the 14th day of April 2026 by His Excellency, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. This edifice stands as a lasting symbol of integrity.”

According to Olusegun, the NRS headquarters has sixteen floors, three towers, and can accommodate about 3,000 employees.

The transition is part of the Tinubu administration’s strategic restructuring of Nigeria’s tax system, designed to enhance efficiency.
