Leke Abejide Launches Kano Initiative for Tinubu's 2027 Bid

Leke Abejide, a member of the House of Representatives representing Yagba Federal Constituency of Kogi State, has launched a grassroots mobilization and empowerment initiative targeting one million Yoruba residents in Kano State to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027. This initiative was announced following the inauguration of a 27-member committee responsible for coordinating the program across Kano’s 44 local government areas.

The focus will be on providing economic support to widows, youths, women, artisans, entrepreneurs, and other vulnerable individuals. Speaking at the Oba Yoruba Kano's palace, Abejide emphasized the importance of transparency in the program's implementation.

He highlighted his longstanding relationship with Kano, stating that he has lived and conducted business there. The committee, led by coordinator Seyi Olorunsola, is tasked with identifying beneficiaries and ensuring that assistance reaches those in genuine need, particularly vulnerable community members.
