In a significant move ahead of Nigeria's 2027 elections, the All Progressives Congress (APC) legislative aides officially declared their backing for President Bola Tinubu's re-election bid. This announcement was made during the inauguration of the National Assembly Legislative Aides into the APC Support Groups Council in Abuja. Ayoola Fakunle, the National Coordinator of the group, emphasized the political importance of the aides, highlighting their extensive networks across various governmental levels which position them as pivotal in the upcoming elections.

Fakunle pointed out that these aides are not just concentrated in the National Assembly but are also present at state assemblies and local governments. Their widespread presence allows for a comprehensive voter mobilization effort, as they can effectively reach constituents on multiple levels. This grassroots strategy is particularly critical as political alignments begin to shift in anticipation of the 2027 general elections, with parties initiating plans to engage voters earlier than usual.

The endorsement from these legislative aides reflects the APC's ongoing efforts to solidify its base and expand its influence ahead of the elections. With various groups and support networks forming within the party, the legacy of Tinubu's administration and his vision for the country are being promoted actively, setting the stage for what promises to be a significant electoral contest in Nigeria.
