APC France Chapter Endorses Tinubu and Shettima for 2027 Re-election
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in France has officially declared its support for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima in the upcoming 2027 general election. This endorsement was announced in a statement issued on Wednesday, March 4, 2026, by Hajia Amina Suzuki, the chairperson of the APC France Chapter.
Praise for Economic Reforms and Leadership
In the statement, the APC France Chapter highlighted the administration's economic reforms under the Renewed Hope Agenda, asserting that these measures have placed Nigeria on a path toward lasting stability and growth. The group pointed to efforts to strengthen public finances, reposition the oil and gas industry, attract foreign investment, and rebuild international confidence in Nigeria's economy.
"As Nigerians in the diaspora, we closely monitor global economic indicators and investor sentiment. Nigeria's economic narrative is changing for the better," the statement read. It further commended the resilience demonstrated by the administration, alongside its commitment to infrastructure development, social investment, security enhancement, and youth empowerment.
Confidence in Leadership and Vision
The chapter also praised Vice President Shettima's role in supporting policy coordination and implementation, describing his contribution as instrumental to the administration's agenda. It stated that both leaders have shown competence, clarity of vision, and the resolve needed to reposition Nigeria competitively on the global stage.
Diaspora Mobilisation Pledged for 2027 Polls
Looking ahead to the 2027 elections, the APC France Chapter announced plans to rally significant support for the Tinubu-Shettima ticket. "We are committed to returning home in our numbers to actively participate in grassroots mobilisation, voter education, and strategic engagement to ensure a resounding victory at the polls," the statement declared.
It added that continuity in leadership is crucial to guarantee stability, deepen reforms, and secure the gains already recorded. The chapter called on all Nigerians, both at home and abroad, to rally behind President Tinubu and Vice President Shettima to sustain the momentum of national transformation.
Previous Endorsement and Broader Support
This endorsement follows a similar declaration by the Alliance for Energy Stability and Economic Growth (AESEG), a civil society coalition that has also backed Tinubu's re-election in 2027. AESEG cited the restoration of investor confidence in Nigeria's oil and gas sector as a key achievement, pointing to recent approvals for international oil companies as evidence of improved regulatory trust under Tinubu's leadership.
The APC France Chapter's move underscores growing diaspora support for the current administration, with a focus on economic progress and governance reforms as central themes for the upcoming election cycle.
