The All Progressives Congress (APC) Chairman in Borno State, Hon. Bello Ayuba,on Wednesday expressed confidence that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will secure over two million votes in the state in the 2027 general elections, attributing his optimism to the development projects and interventions being undertaken by the President in the state.
Gatekeepers News reports that Ayuba, said the Federal Government’s interventions in critical infrastructure, road construction, education and other sectors would translate into massive electoral support for the President in Borno State.
Ayuba who made this known during a press conference in Maiduguri the state capital, specifically mentioned the President’s intervention in the rehabilitation of the Alau Dam, following the devastating September 2024 flooding that claimed lives and destroyed properties in the state.
The APC chairman also identified the federal road projects, including the Bama-Banki Road, Maiduguri-Gamboru Ngala Road and Gombe-Biu Federal Road, as significant infrastructure interventions that would improve transportation, boost economic activities and strengthen connectivity between communities, including those along Nigeria’s border with neighbouring countries.
According to him, the road projects are particularly important to residents of the state, noting that successive administration at the Federal level had failed to give attention to ‘ these federal roads but we’re are happy that President Tinubu is touching the lives of our people positively with his many interventions.
” The people of Borno State are full of gratitude to President Tinubu for the infrastructural projects being executed across the state. These projects have demonstrated the President’s commitment to the development of Borno and the wellbeing of its people.
“Because of these projects and love for the APC , we are confident that President Tinubu will secure more than two million votes in Borno State in the 2027 general elections,” Ayuba said.
He stateed that the roads would ease movement, facilitate trade, improve access to rural areas and open up communities that have faced years of infrastructure and security challenges.
Ayuba further cited the establishment of the Federal University of Agriculture and Entrepreneurship in Bama as another significant intervention by the Tinubu administration, noting that the institution would expand access to higher education and create opportunities for young people in the state.
On the political strength of the APC ahead of the 2027 elections, the chairman expressed confidence that the party would maintain its dominance in Borno, insisting that the opposition parties would struggle to match its political structure and support base.
He also commended Governor Babagana Zulum for what he described as his exceptional performance in the state, saying the governor’s achievements had further strengthened the APC’s position ahead of the forthcoming elections.
Ayuba therefore stated that the combination of the Federal Government’s development projects and the state government’s achievements would put the APC in a strong position to win the 2027 elections across all levels in the State.
