All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council Director-General, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, made a comparison of the candidates in the 2027 presidential poll, asserting that Bola Tinubu controls more than ten states in both the Northern and Southern regions. Yari stated that President Tinubu has turned around the economy since assuming office three years ago and that the progress should be highlighted during the campaign.
He also pointed out that neither Atiku Abubakar nor Peter Obi can claim to have any major support base in the South or North, respectively. Yari further argued that a candidate without a wide geographical spread cannot become President of Nigeria, citing Buhari as an example who had control over 70% in the North but failed to reach the presidency due to lack of support in the South.
