2027: IBB warns against division and urges peace as campaigns begin

Ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 general elections, former military president Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida urged political leaders and citizens to put national unity, peaceful coexistence and the country’s collective interest before partisan concerns. He made the appeal on Wednesday at his Hilltop residence in Minna during a visit by the APC Presidential and Gubernatorial Campaign Council in Niger State. Babangida called for peace, tolerance and mutual respect during the campaign period and prayed for a peaceful, successful election. Council Director-General Ahmed Musa Ibeto said the APC campaigns would focus on issues and development and prioritise unity.
