The Allied Peoples Movement (APM) has questioned President Bola Tinubu’s prospects in Northern Nigeria ahead of the 2027 presidential election, accusing his administration of failing to address the region’s security and economic challenges.

The party, through the Makinde-Daura Presidential Campaign Organisation, alleged that the President had fallen short of commitments made to Northern voters during his 2022 presidential campaign.

The organisation, which is campaigning for APM presidential candidate and Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, said the continued insecurity and worsening living conditions in parts of the North could undermine the ruling All Progressives Congress’ (APC) electoral fortunes in the region.

It raised concerns over persistent attacks on communities, kidnappings, killings and the displacement of residents, arguing that the government had yet to provide the level of protection expected by vulnerable populations.

The campaign organisation also accused the Tinubu administration of neglecting the region’s interests, insisting that the promises made during the last election had not translated into meaningful improvements in the lives of many Northern Nigerians.

With the APC preparing to launch its presidential campaign in Kaduna, the allegations introduce another political challenge for the ruling party as it seeks to consolidate support ahead of the 2027 polls.

The APM’s position suggests that insecurity and economic hardship could become major issues in the contest for Northern votes, a region that remains strategically important to presidential election outcomes.

However, the party’s claims represent its political assessment of the administration’s performance, while the eventual voting pattern in 2027 will depend on a range of factors, including candidates, party structures and voters’ evaluations of competing political platforms.
