Shekarau and Lalong Rally Northern Support for Tinubu
On October 13, 2026, former Kano State Governor Ibrahim Shekarau and former Plateau State Governor Simon Lalong assured the APC National Working Committee that Northern voters would support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the January presidential election. Leading the Arewa for Asiwaju (A4A) group, they visited APC National Chairman Professor Nentawe Yilwatda.
Shekarau highlighted the North's largest voting population and the group's commitment to mobilizing support for Tinubu. He stated that the A4A initiative aims to ensure that the North's voter turnout surpasses previous elections.
Shekarau dismissed claims from opposition politicians that the North has been marginalized under Tinubu's administration, asserting that the movement would showcase the government's achievements in the region. He noted that many projects are unknown to the broader Northern population.
The APC National Chairman thanked Shekarau and Lalong for their commitment to Tinubu's victory.
