The National Assembly on Thursday passed a vote of confidence in President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 elections.
The leadership of the National Assembly said Tinubu has performed very well two years into his first term as president and therefore deserves another tenure.
President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, and Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, made the remarks during the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Summit in Abuja.
Speaking at the event, Akpabio said: “Nigerians are saying that because you have done a difficult job very well, it is time to reward you by sending you back to the Presidency for a second term in office.
“I move that Mr. President returns as the APC candidate unopposed and, secondly, as the president for a second term come 2027. I so move.”;;
On his part, Abbas seconded Akpabio’s motion on behalf of all state legislatures.
“I stand on behalf of the entire 109 senators, 360 members of the House, and all the 36 speakers and their members to second this very important motion moved by the Senate President,”;; he said.
Earlier, the Progressive Governors Forum had also endorsed Tinubu for a second term.
Chairman of the forum and Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma, said governors on the party’s platform will ensure Tinubu’s victory in 2027.
