Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, has assured President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the support of Northern Nigeria for his re-election in the 2027 general elections.

The Governor gave the assurance on Saturday in Abuja while speaking at the inauguration of the Arewa for Asiwaju (A4A) campaign office.

Governor Yusuf expressed confidence that the North would stand behind President Tinubu in the forthcoming election, reaffirming his commitment to the President’s second-term ambition.

He said the A4A movement would serve as a platform for mobilising support across the Northern states and strengthening political engagement ahead of the 2027 general elections.

He said Kano as the leading state with highest number of votes in northern Nigeria will in sha Allah lead all Nigerian states to victory of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu with massive turnout in favour of the APC.

Speaking at the event, Vice President Kashim Shettima said the North had demonstrated its support for President Tinubu, stressing that political support must go hand in hand with accountability, good governance and tangible results that improve the lives of Nigerians.

The Vice President acknowledged the economic challenges facing citizens and emphasised the need for the administration to remain responsive to their concerns, while prioritising security, education, poverty reduction and economic opportunities.

The A4A movement is aimed at coordinating support for President Tinubu and Vice President Shettima across the 19 Northern states and the Federal Capital Territory with former minister of defense H.E. Badaru Abubakar as its national coordinator.
