Jigawa Speaker Calls for Northern Support for Tinubu in 2027

Rt. Hon. Haruna Aliyu Dangyatin, the Speaker of the Jigawa State House of Assembly and Jigawa State Coordinator of the City Boy movement, called on Northerners to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's bid for a second term in 2027.

He described this support as a “payback” for Tinubu's significant role in the emergence of the late President Muhammadu Buhari. Dangyatin stated that Buhari's presidential success was largely due to the backing from Tinubu and the Southwest, highlighting that Buhari had previously contested multiple times without success until he received this support.

He noted that the ongoing mobilization efforts by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Jigawa Central are not the formal launch of the 2027 campaign but rather grassroots engagements to introduce candidates and strengthen the party. Dangyatin expressed confidence that the APC would maintain its support base in the region, dismissing previous successes of the PDP as temporary setbacks.

He acknowledged the current economic hardships but urged patience with the Federal Government's reforms.
