2027: Ex-minister Sambo endorses Tinubu for second term

In a move that could further solidify his position as a frontrunner for the 2027 presidential elections, former Minister of Transportation and All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain in Taraba State, Mu’azu Jaji Sambo, has endorsed President Bola Tinubu for a second term. Sambo, who served as the Taraba State Minister of Transportation from 2023 to 2025, made his endorsement in a statement on Thursday, according to Vanguard News. Sambo urged Nigerians to be patient with the administration’s economic reforms, which he believes are necessary for the country’s long-term growth and development. The endorsement comes amid ongoing speculation about potential candidates for the 2027 presidential election, with Tinubu widely considered a leading contender. The move by Sambo, a respected political figure in Taraba State and the APC, could help bolster Tinubu’s campaign and position him as a formidable force in the upcoming election.
