Yahaya Bello to Campaign in Kano for Tinubu's Re-election

Yahaya Bello, the former Governor of Kogi State, announced his intention to spend two weeks in Kano State to campaign for President Bola Tinubu and the Kano Governor ahead of the 2027 general elections. Speaking at the Yoruba Political Mobilisation and Empowerment Programme organized by the Leke Abejide (Rep, Yagba East/Yagba West/Mopa Muro) Foundation, Bello called on Yoruba and other non-indigenous communities to support the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidates.

He criticized the complacency within the non-indigenous voter bloc, noting that the approximately 500,000 votes for Tinubu in the 2023 presidential election were insufficient. Bello expressed confidence that the political network of Leke Abejide could help achieve a target of two million votes for Tinubu in 2027.

He also urged Northern voters to back Tinubu's re-election, emphasizing political stability. Additionally, he defended the administration's infrastructure record, citing improvements on the Kano-Abuja Federal Highway.

Abejide, who represents Yagba Federal Constituency, announced N500 million for interest-free loans for women in cooperative societies and support for widows and youths.
