Tinubu secured the APC presidential ticket by defeating fellow aspirant Stanley Osifo at the party's national convention and primaries. He reportedly won by a significant margin, consolidating his influence within the ruling party ahead of the 2027 elections. The primary contest was viewed as a test of Tinubu's political dominance amid debates over the economic impact of his reforms and calls for alternative leadership from some party members. His victory reinforced his grip on the party structure.

President Tinubu has consistently demonstrated that he is a leader who keeps his promises and puts Nigeria first. We are confident that with his re-election, the nation will witness accelerated development and lasting progress.
