Shettima also inaugurated a transporters support group backing Tinubu's re-election bid, urging members to conduct a peaceful, issue-based campaign ahead of the polls.

Seyi Makinde, presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples' Movement (APM), has said that although his party may be discounted by opponents, its votes will count in Nigeria's 2027 elections. Speaking in Abuja, he also addressed petrol pricing, saying the government must show its workings. According to Vanguard, Labour Party figure Peter Obi said Makinde is qualified to be president, while other politicians, including Bala Mohammed and Daura, commented on candidates' electability ahead of the polls.

Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, the Labour Party's vice-presidential candidate in Nigeria's 2023 election, has said that the major contenders expected to challenge President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 poll lack the capacity to move the country forward.
