The Coalition of APC Support Groups, North-East subregion, has endorsed Yakubu Dogara as a perfect fit for President Bola Tinubu’s running mate in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) come 2027 general elections.
It would be recalled that the president has since garnered endorsements from various organs of the APC, affording him an automatic ticket for the party.
During a gathering in Gombe on Monday, members of the coalition declared that the former Speaker of the House of Representatives was the best person to be picked as Tinubu’s running mate.
The coalition declared that at the end of the meeting, a delegation will formally proceed to Abuja, where it will meet with the President, Bola Tinubu and present the decision to him.
It stressed that from the North-East geo-political subregion, there is no better politician than Yakubu Dogara to occupy the office of the Vice President of Nigeria.

“At a time such as this, when efforts are on to build a brighter Nigeria, unity and impactful political representation and religious harmony, Dogara is the most qualified person to lead,” the coalition stated.
The coalition then revealed that it will operate with #APC #Dogara2027 #TinubuDogara #Arewazaben2027.
