Matawalle Urges Muslim Women to Support Tinubu-Shettima Ticket

Bello Matawalle, the Minister of State for Defence and former Governor of Zamfara State, called on Muslim women across Nigeria to support the Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket of President Bola Tinubu and Vice-President Kashim Shettima in the upcoming 2027 election. This appeal was made during a public gathering in Kaduna, where he addressed attendees in a video shared by HM Arewa, a Hausa media group.

Matawalle emphasized that the gathering was politically focused on Tinubu’s re-election and the realization of the Muslim-Muslim ticket. He encouraged women to support the ticket based on their religious convictions, asserting that their actions should be driven by faith rather than political or financial incentives.

He reassured them that their commitment to the ticket was correct and urged them to remain steadfast, even in the face of criticism. Former House of Representatives Speaker Aminu Masari also spoke at the event, expressing confidence in Tinubu's plans for Nigeria.

Both Matawalle and Masari are members of the APC presidential campaign council for Tinubu’s re-election.
