APC Group Urges Northern Governors to Support Tinubu

The All Progressives Congress North Central Grassroots Mobilisation Movement, led by coordinator Alhaji Ibrahim Khaleel Aliyu, has called on northern governors to halt their ongoing campaigns against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. During an inauguration event in Minna, the group acknowledged unhealthy campaigns against Tinubu's re-election but warned that failure to act could negatively impact the governors' own re-election prospects.

Khaleel, the immediate past secretary of the All Progressives Congress in Niger State, urged local government coordinators to mobilize at least 500 votes from every polling unit for Tinubu and other APC candidates in the January and February 2027 elections. He cautioned APC members against associating with opposition candidates, stating that their actions would be monitored.

Alhaji Yusuf Tagwai, Special Adviser on Political Matters to Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago, described the upcoming campaign as a "war" that requires active voter engagement rather than passive participation.
