The Sokoto chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has endorsed Governor Ahmed Aliyu for a second term in the upcoming 2027 gubernatorial election, signaling a strong party unity and belief in his administration's achievements. This unanimous decision was made during a party meeting, where members expressed confidence in Aliyu's leadership amid ongoing economic and security challenges in the region.
Governor Aliyu, who has been in office since 2023, has focused on infrastructure development and job creation, which have garnered mixed reactions from the populace. His endorsement by the APC reflects a strategic move to consolidate support ahead of the election cycle. “Our endorsement is a testament to the trust we have in Governor Aliyu’s vision for Sokoto,” stated Ahmed Zaki, the APC Chairman in Sokoto.
As the political landscape in Nigeria remains dynamic, Aliyu's candidacy will likely be tested by both intra-party rivalries and the broader electoral environment. The APC's backing could be pivotal in mobilizing resources and voter support, making the upcoming election a crucial juncture for the party and the state’s future governance.
