Gov. Namadi Expresses Confidence in President Tinubu’s 2027 Election Win

Governor Umar Namadi of Jigawa State said he is confident that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will win the 2027 presidential election, adding that no opposition candidate, including former President Goodluck Jonathan, can stop the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) from staying in power.

Namadi made the comments after he cast his ballot in the APC presidential primary held at his polling unit in Kafin Hausa Local Government Area of Jigawa State.

The governor reiterated his pledge to deliver more than one million votes for President Tinubu in the next general election, arguing that the target is realistic given the broad support the APC enjoys across Jigawa State.

He noted that the high turnout at the primary reflected the confidence that party members and residents have in both President Tinubu and the APC‑led administration.

According to Namadi, the peaceful and transparent conduct of the exercise also demonstrated the President’s respect for democratic values and internal party democracy.

The governor added that the result of the APC primary foreshadows what to expect in the 2027 polls, predicting an overwhelming victory for the ruling party nationwide.

Namadi described Jigawa as one of the APC’s strongest support bases, pointing out that the state is among those with the highest number of registered voters in the country.

He maintained that the impressive turnout during the exercise indicated the readiness of party supporters in the state to meet the target of delivering over one million votes for the President.
