President Tinubu has lauded the ruling APC's dominant performance in the recent by-elections, securing four of five seats across Gombe, Kano, Bauchi, and Delta states while crediting the results to sustained grassroots support for his economic reforms. He used the victory to rally voters against political opportunism and urged INEC to rectify any operational gaps ahead of the 2027 general elections.

  • According to The Whistler Newspaper, President Tinubu specifically cited the party's four-to-one victory in the Gombe, Kano, Bauchi, and Delta state races, attributing the results to public confidence in his administration's three-year reform agenda. He further emphasized that these wins validate the difficult economic measures implemented recently, urging citizens to remain committed despite political opposition.
