Politicians Reportedly Push Tinubu to Step Aside for South East APC Candidate in 2027

Politicians from the South East, South South and parts of Northern Nigeria are reportedly pushing for President Bola Tinubu to step aside ahead of the APC’s 2027 presidential primaries. The group is said to favour a South East APC candidate and has called for Tinubu to voluntarily resign shortly before the election. However, the report does not identify the politicians involved or provide evidence of an organised bloc within the party. The alleged move could intensify debate over zoning, regional representation and the APC’s succession plans. Tinubu’s supporters are likely to resist any attempt to prevent his re-election bid.
