Abuja, Nigeria – Former Senate President Ahmad Lawan has declared that the North would deliver more than 75% of its votes to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 general elections, emphasizing that continuity is key to Nigeria’s stability and development.
Lawan made the remarks after being formally appointed National Patron of the Tinubu House-to-House Network, a grassroots volunteer mobilisation platform. The group, led by National Chairman Comrade Yahaya Muhammad, visited the lawmaker at the National Assembly to notify him of his appointment.
Visibly delighted, the Yobe North lawmaker lauded the network’s strategy and urged members to expand their reach nationwide.
“I feel very delighted that you have found me worthy of this appointment. My prayer and hope is that you continue to deepen your activities across the country, particularly in the northern part of Nigeria,” Lawan said.
The former Senate President offered a strong endorsement of President Tinubu’s leadership, highlighting achievements in stabilizing the economy and strengthening national security.
“I believe President Bola Tinubu is doing his best and the APC administration is achieving a lot. The economy of Nigeria today is stable and facing the right direction,” he said.
On security, Lawan acknowledged the country’s challenges but expressed confidence in the armed forces, noting that the administration has invested heavily in security assets and operations.
Looking ahead to 2027, Lawan urged northern voters to surpass their 2023 support for Tinubu, when about 63% of northern votes helped secure his victory.
“In 2027, we should vote for our President with more than 75% of the votes that will bring him back to office,” he declared.
Lawan argued that Nigeria benefits more from stability and continuity than experimenting with new leadership:
“The President is trying to ensure that we get a fair share. So, we are better sticking with this President than trying somebody new who may not do even half of what we have seen here,” he added.
He also attributed the recent influx of defectors into the APC to visible progress under the current administration, insisting that supporters join by belief, not coercion.
“Nobody is bribed or coerced into becoming a member of the party. They believe in APC just like we do,” Lawan said.
He encouraged the Tinubu House-to-House Network to evolve into a truly national structure, capable of driving an effective 2027 campaign.
“Let it be a national network, covering not only major states but all states of the federation. We want to take the success story from house to house. This is supposed to be the basis of any serious campaign,” he said.
The Tinubu House-to-House Network focuses on grassroots mobilisation and disseminating the administration’s programmes across all wards in Nigeria.
