Former Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, has expressed his openness to international involvement in Nigeria’s 2027 general elections.
Speaking on Arise Television on Monday, Tambuwal highlighted the role that international engagement played in the 2015 general election, which contributed to the victory of the then-opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) over incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan.
Gossip News Now reports that Tambuwal was a member of the APC during the 2015 election. He is currently aligned with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) while also cooperating with the coalition-backed African Democratic Congress (ADC).
He said, “Looking at our recent history, the involvement of the international community influenced the 2015 election, which the APC benefited from. I expect similar engagement from the international community ahead of 2027.”
Tambuwal clarified that while foreign involvement can support credible elections, it is not the only method to achieve fairness at the polls.
“It’s not the only way, but it is one of the ways,” he explained.
He further stated that his call for international support was not directed at any single country but at democratic nations acting collectively.
“I am not referring specifically to the United States. I mean democratic countries and the international community ensuring, without direct interference, that elections are conducted freely, fairly, and credibly,” Tambuwal said.
