Leke Abejide Seeks 2 Million Votes for Tinubu in Kano

Hon. Leke Abejide (Rep, Yagba East/Yagba West/Mopa Muro), a federal lawmaker representing Yagba West, Yagba East, and Mopamuro Federal Constituency in Kogi State, called on Yoruba, Ebira, and Igala communities in Kano to deliver at least two million votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and other All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates in the 2027 general elections. This appeal was made on Saturday, October 31, during the 2026/2027 Empowerment Programme organized by the Leke Abejide Foundation.

Abejide, who has lived and conducted business in Kano for 34 years, announced that N500 million would be allocated as interest-free loans for women in cooperative societies. The event also included the distribution of food items, clothing, and cash support.

Former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello expressed confidence in Abejide's ability to mobilize votes and emphasized the need to extend efforts beyond the presidential race. The Kano State Governor reassured non-indigenous residents of their inclusion in the state’s governance.
