The race towards Nigeria’s 2027 general elections is gathering momentum, with the All Progressives Congress (APC) stepping up its political mobilisation in Niger State.
The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has expressed confidence that President Bola Tinubu and Niger State Governor Mohammed Bago will secure overwhelming victories in the state during the next general election.
Idris made the prediction during the official flag-off of the APC Presidential and Gubernatorial Campaign Council in Niger State.
According to the minister, the large turnout of party supporters demonstrated the APC’s growing political strength and acceptance among residents.
He also attributed the party’s confidence to the development programmes being implemented by the Tinubu administration and Governor Bago’s government.
The minister urged APC members to intensify grassroots mobilisation and communicate the achievements of both administrations to voters across the state.
Governor Bago also expressed confidence that his administration’s performance over the past three years would earn him another mandate in 2027.
He reaffirmed his commitment to ensuring that Tinubu secures a decisive victory in Niger State.
The campaign council’s activities are expected to extend across the state’s 25 local government areas, signalling the beginning of more coordinated political engagement ahead of the elections.
However, political observers will be watching to see whether the APC’s confidence translates into actual voter support when Nigerians eventually head to the polls.
While party leaders may make bold predictions at campaign gatherings, the final decision will rest with the electorate.
For now, the APC appears determined to strengthen its grassroots presence and consolidate its political position in Niger State.
With the 2027 election drawing closer, more campaign launches, political endorsements and ambitious victory predictions are expected across the country.
