In a recent statement, the APC National Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda announced that President Bola Tinubu is expected to win more than 70% of the votes in Nigeria’s northern region in the 2027 presidential election.
Yilwatda made the prediction ahead of the upcoming national election, highlighting the party’s confidence in Tinubu’s support base across the North.
While the source does not provide further details on the basis of the estimate, it underscores the importance of northern votes for the ruling All‑Progressive Congress as it prepares for the next electoral cycle.
The 2027 election will be the next major political contest in Nigeria, with parties and analysts closely watching regional voting patterns to gauge potential outcomes.
For now, the APC’s forecast points to a strong showing for Tinubu in the North, a region that has historically been a key battleground in Nigerian politics.
