Governor Mai Mala Buni has formally endorsed the nomination form of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the 2027 Presidential Election, a move widely seen as setting the pace for early political alignment within the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The endorsement signals a calculated effort to consolidate party unity and shape internal consensus ahead of the next electoral cycle; by taking a clear and proactive stance, Gov. Buni is reinforcing continuity within the APC while strengthening support for President Tinubu’s leadership and reform agenda.
This development reflects Gov. Buni’s rising influence in national politics and his capacity to guide strategic direction within the ruling party. Known for his consensus-driven leadership, the governor continues to play a key role in stabilising party structures and promoting cohesion across regions.
The move also highlights Yobe State’s increasing relevance in national political discourse. Through deliberate engagement and strong grassroots connection, Gov. Buni has positioned the state as a dependable APC stronghold with a voice that resonates beyond the North-East.
Within party circles, the endorsement is expected to encourage broader support and inspire similar alignments among stakeholders; it underscores a growing trend of early positioning aimed at reinforcing unity and minimising internal divisions ahead of 2027.
The endorsement was formally communicated in a statement signed by Mamman Mohammed, Director-General of Press and Media Affairs, to the Governor.
As the countdown to 2027 gradually begins, Gov. Buni’s decisive action reaffirms his status as a strategic political actor, one whose influence continues to shape the APC's trajectory while elevating Yobe’s standing in Nigeria’s evolving political landscape.
