Northern Youths Endorse Tinubu for 2027 Re-election Bid

The Traditional Youth Forum of Nigeria has pledged to mobilize grassroots support for President Bola Tinubu's re-election in 2027, highlighting the administration's youth-focused initiatives and economic reforms. This pledge occurred during a courtesy visit to Senator Umaru Tanko Al-Makura, the former Governor of Nasarawa State and Renewed Hope Zonal Ambassador for the North Central, at his office in Abuja.

The forum, which includes youth leaders from various emirates and chiefdoms in Northern Nigeria, claims to be apolitical but is motivated by the administration's interventions in youth development. Barr. Aliyu Shehu Yusuf, the national chairman and spokesperson, stated that the forum aims to advance young people's interests and strengthen their governance participation.

Yusuf cited initiatives like the student loan program as reasons for their support, asserting that their endorsement is voluntary and not influenced by any political party. Al-Makura welcomed the endorsement, viewing it as a positive sign for youth engagement in politics and national development.
