  "account": "Dr. Musa Illiyasu Kwankwaso, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), expressed on Thursday that President Bola Tinubu has garnered support from former political adversaries in preparation for the 2027 general election. Kwankwaso noted that the involvement of politicians from various parties in Tinubu's re-election campaign indicated that the President was garnering backing outside of the APC. Speaking on this development, Kwankwaso described the formation of the Campaign Council as akin to a congregation welcoming President Tinubu back into office. He mentioned that the inclusion of politicians from parties like the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Labour Party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and Accord Party suggested that the President's political support was broadening. Kwankwaso emphasized that it was unprecedented for politicians from different political backgrounds, including those who had never collaborated before, to unite behind a single candidate. He highlighted that no one had ever managed to attract nearly all opposition parties and political leaders, despite their previous disagreements, because of Tinubu's influence. The APC chieftain also defended Tinubu's economic strategies, stating that remarks from Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Charles Soludo, and other political figures demonstrated an understanding of Nigeria's challenges and the global economic landscape.
