Pro-Tinubu Group Aims for 10 Million Votes in 2027

Bichi's Ward Wide Ambassadors for Tinubu 2027, a pro-Tinubu political support group, officially launched on September 28, 2026, in Abuja, setting a target of 10 million votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's re-election campaign. The inaugural event took place at Ibeto Hotel, where Hon. Abubakar Kabir Bichi, a Kano State lawmaker representing Bichi Federal Constituency and chairing the House Committee on Appropriations, was conferred the title of Grand Patron.

Convener Edward Abakpa stated that the group's formation was driven by the administration's economic direction, citing policy changes like the removal of the petrol subsidy and foreign exchange market restructuring. He referenced ongoing road and rail projects, claiming over 2,700 kilometers of highways were under construction or rehabilitation.

Abakpa also mentioned the Nigerian Loan Fund (NELFUND), which had disbursed over N282 billion to more than 1.5 million beneficiaries. The group plans to engage voters through a ward-based structure and collaborate with other pro-Tinubu organizations during the campaign.
