Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, has called on Nigerians to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s second-term bid ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
The governor made the call in a statement issued on Friday by his spokesperson, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, following the submission of the President’s nomination form to the Independent National Electoral Commission.
“President Tinubu’s leadership has set Nigeria on the path of development and reform. Nigerians should support his second-term bid to sustain this progress,” Yusuf said.
He urged citizens across political, ethnic, and religious lines to unite behind the President, stressing the need for continuity in governance.
“We must rise above our differences and support policies that promote national growth, economic stability, and unity,” he added.
President Tinubu’s nomination form was presented to the National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress at the Ladi Kwali Hall of the Abuja Continental Hotel. The President was represented by his Special Adviser on Political Matters, Hon. Ibrahim Kabir Masari.
Governor Yusuf described the submission of the form as “a significant milestone in Nigeria’s democratic journey,” expressing confidence in the outcome of the electoral process.
“A renewed mandate will consolidate ongoing reforms and accelerate development across the country,” he stated.
The governor also commended Vice President Kashim Shettima and the leadership of the APC for their commitment to party unity and a credible electoral process.
“We appreciate the efforts of the party leadership in ensuring transparency and strengthening democratic values,” he said.
He reaffirmed Kano State’s commitment to supporting policies and programmes aimed at promoting inclusive development and improving the welfare of Nigerians.
