Residents of Jigawa State have assured the Director-General of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, of their readiness to deliver two million votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.
The assurance was given during the ongoing APC presidential campaign event in Dutse, the Jigawa State capital, where party leaders, stakeholders, traditional supporters, youths and community representatives gathered to reaffirm their commitment to the President’s re-election bid.
Speakers at the event expressed confidence in the APC’s mobilisation structure, describing the massive turnout as clear evidence of the party’s growing strength and the people’s readiness to support President Tinubu at the polls. They pledged to work closely with the campaign council to ensure that the promised votes are delivered across all local government areas of the state.
The pledge aligns with the earlier declaration by Jigawa State Governor, Malam Umar Namadi, that the state is targeting no fewer than two million votes for President Tinubu in 2027. Governor Namadi said the target was informed by the level of political mobilisation across the state and the enthusiasm shown by residents during recent APC activities. He also expressed confidence that the state would deliver victory for the President, the governor, senators, House of Representatives members and State Assembly candidates.
Governor Namadi had earlier explained that the integration of the presidential and governorship campaign structures was designed to strengthen coordination and provide a united platform for the party’s 2027 election activities. According to him, the inauguration of the campaign council brought key APC leaders and political stakeholders together under one structure to coordinate mobilisation and support for President Tinubu and Governor Namadi ahead of the elections.
The event also reinforced earlier commitments by APC supporters and youth groups in the state, who had pledged to mobilise more than two million votes for President Tinubu and Governor Namadi. During a previous solidarity march in Dutse, supporters declared that the target would be pursued through sustained grassroots engagement, house-to-house outreach and continued mobilisation across communities.
Party leaders at the Dutse gathering urged residents to remain united and committed to the APC’s project, stressing that the party’s success in 2027 would depend on active participation at the polling units. They also called on political office holders, community leaders and party faithful to return to their respective constituencies and mobilise voters for the APC’s candidates from the presidency to the State House of Assembly.
The renewed assurance to Senator Yari signals the determination of Jigawa APC stakeholders to present the state as a major electoral stronghold for President Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections. It also underscores the party’s efforts to consolidate its campaign structures, strengthen grassroots support and sustain momentum as political activities continue to gather pace across the country.
As preparations intensify, APC leaders and supporters in Jigawa State have reaffirmed that their commitment goes beyond campaign rallies, insisting that the two-million-vote target will be demonstrated through massive voter participation in the 2027 presidential election.
