IN DUTSE, JIGAWA STATE, Citizens and residents of Jigawa State have formally assured the Director-General of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, of their unwavering readiness to deliver a minimum of two million votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the upcoming 2027 presidential election.
The solemn assurance was communicated during the ongoing APC presidential campaign event held in Dutse, the Jigawa State capital. The gathering drew a massive assembly of party leaders, political stakeholders, traditional support groups, youth representatives, and community leaders to reaffirm their total commitment to the President’s re-election mandate.
Speaking at the event, key stakeholders expressed profound confidence in the APC’s robust mobilization machinery across the state. They noted that the impressive turnout serves as tangible evidence of the party’s growing popularity and the populace’s preparedness to overwhelmingly support President Tinubu at the polls. Stakeholders pledged to collaborate closely with the campaign council to ensure that the targeted votes are successfully secured across all local government areas of the state.
This renewed pledge seamlessly aligns with the earlier declaration by Jigawa State Governor, Malam Umar Namadi, who targeted no fewer than two million votes for President Tinubu in 2027. Governor Namadi attributed this ambitious projection to the high level of political consciousness, widespread mobilization, and enthusiastic participation demonstrated by residents during recent party activities. Furthermore, the Governor expressed absolute confidence that the state would record a comprehensive sweep, securing victory for the President, the governor, senators, House of Representatives members, and State Assembly candidates.
Governor Namadi had previously explained that the strategic integration of the presidential and governorship campaign structures was designed to optimize coordination, creating a unified platform for all 2027 electoral activities. The inauguration of the joint campaign council has successfully brought key APC leaders under one umbrella to drive cohesive mobilization.
This momentum builds upon prior commitments by youth organizations and grassroots supporters in the state, who had earlier declared their resolve to champion a house-to-house outreach and sustained community engagement strategy to achieve the two-million-vote target.
Addressing the gathering, senior party leaders urged residents to remain steadfast and united behind the APC’s vision, emphasizing that ultimate success in 2027 hinges on active, disciplined participation at individual polling units. They additionally called upon political officeholders, community leaders, and party faithful to return to their respective constituencies to spearhead grassroots mobilization for all party candidates, from the presidency to the State House of Assembly.
The renewed pledge delivered to Senator Yari underscores Jigawa State’s firm positioning as a vital electoral stronghold for the APC. It highlights the party’s systematic efforts to consolidate its campaign structures, fortify grassroots support, and sustain momentum as the nation prepares for the 2027 general elections.
APC leadership and supporters in Jigawa State have reiterated that their commitment transcends rhetoric, insisting that the two-million-vote target will be decisively demonstrated through massive voter turnout and active participation on election day.
