Kano Governor Targets One Million Votes for Tinubu

Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf announced a target of one million votes from Yoruba and other non-indigenous communities for President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress ahead of the 2027 general elections. This declaration was made during an empowerment programme organized by Leke Joseph Abejide (Rep, Yagba East/Yagba West/Mopa Muro), a member of the House of Representatives representing Yagba Federal Constituency of Kogi State.

Abejide introduced a N500m interest-free loan scheme aimed at women and widows residing in Kano, emphasizing its role in supporting sustainable business growth. The scheme will benefit women organized into cooperative societies and includes direct financial assistance for widows, alongside provisions of rice and fabric.

Abejide, who has lived in Kano since 1993, expressed his commitment to the community and urged beneficiaries to support Tinubu and other APC candidates in the upcoming elections. He noted that the non-indigene voting strength in Kano is significant and aims to mobilize effectively to surpass the 500,000 votes Tinubu received in 2023.
