Nigeria’s ruling All Progressives Congress has endorsed President Bola Tinubu to run for a second and final term in office.
The announcement came Thursday during a party summit in Abuja, marking the second anniversary of Tinubu’s presidency.
The 73 year old, won the last election in February 2023. His two main challengers claimed the vote was rigged, but their legal challenges were dismissed. Tinubu has maintained that he won fairly.
Meanwhile, reports indicate that the opposition, remains divided and weakened by high-profile defections.
The APC says it wants Tinubu to continue the economic reforms his government launched—measures that include ending a decades-old fuel subsidy and liberalising the exchange rate.
Despite criticism over economic hardship and insecurity, Tinubu remains influential—such as when he met French President Emmanuel Macron in 2024 as part of efforts to boost international partnerships.
