Shekarau Leads Northern Mobilization for Tinubu's 2027 Bid

The All Progressives Congress (APC) is intensifying efforts to enhance its electoral support in northern Nigeria ahead of the 2027 general elections. The Arewa for Asiwaju (A4A) support group, led by former Kano State Governor and Senator Ibrahim Shekarau, unveiled its voter mobilization strategy during a meeting with APC National Chairman Professor Nentawe Yilwatda in Abuja.

A4A aims to complement the APC’s initiatives by addressing voter apathy and converting political support into actual votes. Shekarau stated that the group has reviewed past election statistics to identify strengths and weaknesses, focusing on areas needing targeted interventions.

A4A has established around 20 directorates with specific responsibilities and is creating a grassroots structure from the national level down to local government areas. The group plans to collaborate with existing party officials and publicize the achievements of the Tinubu administration in northern Nigeria to counter claims of neglect.
