  "summary": "The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Nentawe Yilwatda, has predicted that the North will give President Bola Tinubu more than 70% of its votes in the 2027 presidential election. Speaking at the commissioning of the Arewa for Asiwaju secretariat in Abuja, Yilwatda urged people in the region to support Tinubu’s re-election bid, citing infrastructure projects, appointments, and other initiatives of the President’s administration. He listed various projects such as road projects across northern states, the Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano gas pipeline, irrigation dams, railway projects, healthcare initiatives, and the Nigerian Education Loan Fund as reasons the North should support Tinubu for a second term.",
