Tinubu 2027 victory declaration made by Ganduje as former Kano governor says election is assured during APC defection event in National Assembly
Former Kano State Governor Umar Ganduje has declared that the 2027 general election is assured for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf, making a bold political statement during a defection event at the National Assembly.
Ganduje made the remarks on Monday inside the House of Representatives chamber in Abuja, where he witnessed the formal defection of eight lawmakers from the New Nigerian Peoples Party to the All-Progressives Congress.
The lawmakers’ switch further strengthens the ruling party’s presence within the legislature.
Speaking at the event, Ganduje described the development as a moment of “liberation,” expressing optimism that the growing number of defections reflects increasing confidence in the APC ahead of the next electoral cycle.
He praised President Tinubu for fostering what he described as an inclusive political environment that encourages opposition members to join the ruling party.
The Tinubu 2027 victory declaration was delivered alongside assurances that defecting lawmakers would be fully integrated into the party structure.
Ganduje emphasised unity within the APC, stating that the party now operates as a cohesive entity rather than a fragmented alliance.
He also extended appreciation to the defecting lawmakers for aligning with the APC, framing their decision as a strategic move that would enhance collaboration between federal and state-level representatives.
The remarks come amid an evolving political landscape in Nigeria, where party realignments and defections continue to shape early narratives ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Analysts note that such developments often signal shifting alliances and intensifying preparations among major political actors.
As political activities gradually build momentum, attention is expected to remain on how these defections influence party strength, legislative dynamics, and broader electoral positioning in the months ahead.
