Northern Leaders Rally for Tinubu's 2027 Reelection Bid

Prominent northern political leaders are intensifying efforts to support President Bola Tinubu's reelection bid in 2027, spearheaded by former Kano State governor Ibrahim Shekarau, former Yobe governor Ibrahim Geidam, and former Plateau governor Simon Lalong under the Arewa for Asiwaju (A4A) movement. This coalition aims to rally political stakeholders, students, and youths around the administration's achievements in education, security, infrastructure, agriculture, rural electrification, and human capital development.

The Kano North Senatorial District Campaign Council, inaugurated by Deputy President of the Senate Barau Jibrin, is tasked with mobilizing voters across the district for Tinubu and all APC candidates. A4A will be formally unveiled in Abuja, featuring a 14-member Board of Trustees led by Shekarau, with Geidam and Lalong as deputies.

Mohammed Badaru Abubakar will serve as secretary and Director-General of the National Directorate. The movement is also gaining traction among students across the northern states, who have pledged support for Tinubu's reelection.
