In a move that could shape the 2027 presidential race, Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani and House of Representatives Speaker Tajudeen Abbas announced their support for incumbent President Bola Tinubu’s re‑election bid. The two senior politicians cited a range of development projects as evidence of Tinubu’s achievements and the benefits of continuity for Nigeria.
Governor Sani, who has overseen a number of infrastructure and social programmes in his state, said that Tinubu’s policies had delivered tangible results that would be lost if a new president were elected. Speaker Abbas echoed this sentiment, pointing to national initiatives that he believes have improved living standards across the country.
Both officials made their endorsements public in statements that were widely reported by local media. They stressed that the projects they referenced had directly impacted their constituencies and the broader Nigerian populace.
The endorsement comes as the country prepares for the 2027 election, with Tinubu’s administration facing a mix of support and opposition from various political actors. The backing of high‑profile figures such as Sani and Abbas may influence voter sentiment in key regions.
While no further details were released about the specific projects cited, the statements underline the importance of continuity for many Nigerian leaders who see the current administration’s work as essential to the nation’s progress.
