Kano to Lead Northern Support for Tinubu's Re-election Bid

On Saturday, Gov Yusuf announced that Kano would spearhead the support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's re-election bid during the inauguration of the Arewa for Asiwaju (A4A) campaign office in Abuja. He emphasized that Kano, recognized as the leading state in Northern Nigeria in terms of voting strength, would mobilize significant support for the president, aiming for a massive turnout in favor of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Yusuf expressed his belief that Northern Nigeria would back Tinubu's ambition for a second term and highlighted the A4A movement's role in coordinating support across the region ahead of the 2027 general elections. Vice President Kashim Shettima, who spoke at the event, stressed the importance of accountability and good governance alongside political support.

He pointed out the economic challenges facing citizens and the need for government responsiveness. The A4A movement, led by national coordinator Badaru Abubakar, aims to unify support for Tinubu and Shettima across the 19 Northern states and the Federal Capital Territory.
