JIGAWA TARGETS MASSIVE VOTES FOR TINUBU’S RE-ELECTION, SAYS GOV. NAMADI
Governor Malam Umar Namadi has said that the focus in Jigawa State ahead of the 2027 general elections is no longer merely on securing the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu but on the massive number of votes the president will get from the state.
The Governor made this assertion when he received a delegation of the Haske Bola Tinubu Organisation, a political support group, led by its leader, Abba Atiku Abubakar, on a courtesy visit to Government House, Dutse.
Governor Namadi assured the organisation of his administration’s total support and readiness to work closely with its members towards securing President Tinubu’s re-election for a second term in office.
“Indeed, we are fully with you, one hundred per cent, and we will work together to ensure that, by the grace of God, the President of Nigeria, His Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is re-elected for a second term in office. We will work with this organisation to ensure that, God willing, this is achieved,” he said.
The governor added that Jigawa State was looking beyond the president’s re-election to the number of votes he would receive from the state.
“In Jigawa State, by the grace of God, we are no longer talking about whether Bola Ahmed Tinubu will be re-elected; what we are talking about is the sheer number of votes he will secure in Jigawa State. That is what we are talking about.”
Governor Namadi commended the organisation for its commitment and dedication, describing its activities as a demonstration of patriotism and genuine concern for Nigeria’s unity, peace and peaceful coexistence.
He said that initiatives aimed at promoting national cohesion and stability were important to the continued progress and development of the country.
Earlier, the leader of the Haske Bola Tinubu Organisation, Abba Atiku Abubakar, said the delegation was in Jigawa State to express its support for the presidential ambition of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the governorship of Governor Malam Umar Namadi.
He explained that the organisation was established in 2019 as a campaign platform for former Vice President Atiku Abubakar but had since transformed into a political mobilisation platform in support of President Tinubu.
The organisation’s leaders also commended Governor Namadi for his transparency, accountability and achievements in implementing people-orientated projects across Jigawa State, saying that his administration’s development initiatives had endeared him to the electorate.
They expressed their readiness to work with the governor and other stakeholders towards advancing their political objectives ahead of the 2027 general elections.
