Political Earthquake: Delta Senator Throws Full Support Behind Tinubu, Lauds APC’s Vision

Senator Ede Dafinone, representing Delta Central Senatorial District, has commended the All Progressives Congress (APC) for endorsing President Bola Tinubu as its sole presidential candidate for the 2027 election.

Dafinone, a key APC figure, expressed his support during the APC National Summit on the Renewed Hope Agenda, held Thursday at the Old Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

At the summit, APC governors, the National Working Committee (NWC), party stakeholders, and the APC-led National Assembly leaders unanimously backed Tinubu’s re-election, hailing his performance in office.

In a statement released by his media office, Senator Dafinone praised the party for recognizing Tinubu’s achievements, stating:

“We are shaping a future built on transparency, growth, and empowerment at the grassroots. President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda is laying the groundwork for this vision.”

He noted signs of economic recovery under Tinubu’s leadership, arguing that the tough decisions—particularly on fuel subsidy removal and currency reforms—are already showing positive results.

“Reforming the economy is central to the Renewed Hope Agenda, and these efforts will lead to a stronger and more resilient economic system,” he added.

Dafinone emphasized that the early endorsement not only signals party unity ahead of 2027 but also helps avoid the internal crises that often plague political primaries.

“This endorsement reflects the strategic insight of our national leadership—APC Chairman Alhaji Abdullahi Ganduje, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, and House Speaker Tajudeen Abbas.”

He concluded by contrasting the APC’s current unity with the leadership struggles facing other parties, adding that the APC in Delta is equally advancing under Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s leadership.
