The Borno State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has unanimously endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his Vice, Senator Kashim Shettima as the party’s candidates to contest the forthcoming 2027 general elections in the country..

The endorsement to contest the Presidency was reached at a high-level critical stakeholders’ meeting held on Saturday in Maiduguri, the state capital.

The APC stakeholders’ meeting   presided over by Governor Babagana Zulum drew an unprecedented attendance from  the political party stalwarts in each of the 27 Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Borno state.

The resolution of endorsement to contest was reaffirmed, following a motion by Zulum, supporting the Tinubu/Shettima presidential tickets for the 2027 general elections on the platform of APC.

Besides endorsing Tinubu and Shettima for re-election in 2027, Governor Zulum, urged the stakeholders for all hands to be on deck to ensure what he described as, a massive vote for the APC in Borno state in next year’s general polls.

“Our party’s victory at the forthcoming polls can only be achieved when the long-standing unity among stakeholders is maintained,” he declared.

Zulum pointed out that in the last seven years, his administration has been fair to all political stakeholders and prayed for God’s guidance for a successor who will build on the recorded successes achieved so far.

He, therefore assured the stakeholders that politics will not deter him and that he will continue to deliver the dividends of democracy to the people, particularly the ones living in the rural communities of the state.
