Leke Abejide Mobilizes Kano Communities for 2027 Elections

On November 1, 2026, Hon. Leke Abejide (Rep, Yagba East/Yagba West/Mopa Muro), a member of the House of Representatives representing Yagba West, Yagba East, and Mopamuro Federal Constituency of Kogi State, called on Yoruba and other non-indigenous communities in Kano State to mobilize at least two million votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and other All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates in the upcoming 2027 general elections. This appeal was made during the 2026/2027 Kano State Empowerment Programme organized by the Leke Abejide Foundation, which unveiled hundreds of millions of naira in financial and material support for women, widows, and beneficiaries from the Yoruba, Ebira, and Igala communities.

Abejide, who is also the Asiwaju of Yoruba people in Kano, emphasized the importance of sustainable economic opportunities through business support rather than temporary handouts. He announced a N500 million allocation for interest-free loans to women in cooperative societies and assured that the program would extend beyond the elections.

Abejide urged beneficiaries to show their appreciation by supporting President Tinubu and APC candidates.
