Kano Governor Pledges Northern Support for Tinubu 2027 Bid

Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf pledged the support of Northern Nigeria for President Bola Tinubu's re-election bid in the 2027 general elections. In a statement issued Sunday in Abuja, Yusuf asserted that the North maintains confidence in Tinubu's leadership and remains committed to his second-term ambition.

To formalize this support, Yusuf highlighted the inauguration of the Arewa for Asiwaju (A4A) campaign office in Abuja. He positioned Kano as the largest vote-producing state in the North and stated that the state would lead regional efforts to increase voter turnout for the Tinubu-Shettima ticket.

The A4A movement is led by former Minister of Defence Badaru Abubakar. The organization aims to mobilize political backing across Northern states by promoting the president's achievements ahead of the 2027 contest.
