2027: Ex-APC Presidential Aspirant Ayom Backs Tinubu
A chieftain of the All Progressives Party (APC), Moses Ayom has thrown his weight behind the endorsement of President Bola Tinubu as the sole presidential candidate for the party in the 2027 general elections.
Chief Ayom, a former 2023 APC presidential aspirant, said President Tinubu’s endorsement by 22 governors, and members of the National Assembly was a testament that the reforms of his government were already making a great impact on the nation’s economy and the lives of millions of Nigerians.
Ayom, in a statement he personally signed noted that the Nigerian economy under Tinubu has recorded a GDP growth of 3.86% in the last quarter of 2024, describing it as the fastest in three years, with projections for growth to reach between 3.5% and 4.6% in 2025.
“President Tinubu deserves a second term to consolidate the positive reforms that his government has started. Although the changes may have come with initial pains, the President means well for our great country,” the APC chieftain said.
Ayom called on APC stakeholders and Nigerians across party lines to team up with Tinubu’s government as it navigates with positive policies and programmes to transform Nigeria and improve the well-being of the citizens.
“This early endorsement of the President by critical stakeholders is a good motivation. It will be tragic for another administration to halt the fiscal and economic policies currently being implemented by the Tinubu-led government,” he noted.
He urged the president to extend such endorsement support to performing state governors like Reverend Father Hyacinth Alia of Benue State for stability and sustainability of the impactful reforms being implemented at the state level.
Ayom maintained that in less than two years, Governor Alia has initiated and completed several projects which are already touching lives across the state.
“The President needs Governors like Father Alia and a few others who are performing at the sub-national levels for his reforms to touch directly the lives of ordinary people at the grassroots,” Chief Ayom added.
He further advised President Tinubu to consider the Middle Belt for the presidency after his eight years in 2031.
