Residents and political stakeholders in Jigawa State have assured the Director-General of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, of their commitment to securing two million votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.
The pledge was made during the ongoing APC presidential campaign rally in Dutse, the Jigawa State capital, where party leaders, stakeholders, youths, supporters and community representatives gathered to demonstrate their support for President Tinubu’s re-election bid.
Speakers at the gathering expressed confidence in the party’s growing political strength and grassroots mobilisation, describing the large turnout as a demonstration of the people’s willingness to support the APC in the forthcoming elections. They assured Senator Yari that efforts would be intensified across the state’s 27 local government areas to achieve the two-million-vote target.
The commitment reinforces an earlier declaration by Jigawa State Governor, Malam Umar Namadi, who announced that the state was targeting at least two million votes for President Tinubu in 2027. The governor attributed the target to the growing support for the APC and the party’s mobilisation efforts across the state.
Governor Namadi also expressed confidence that Jigawa would deliver electoral victories for President Tinubu, himself, senators, members of the House of Representatives and State House of Assembly candidates.
He had earlier explained that the integration of the presidential and governorship campaign structures was aimed at strengthening coordination and ensuring effective mobilisation ahead of the 2027 general elections. According to him, bringing key APC leaders and stakeholders under a unified campaign structure would enhance the party’s grassroots engagement and electoral preparedness.
The latest pledge also builds on previous commitments by APC supporters and youth groups in Jigawa, who had promised to mobilise more than two million votes for President Tinubu and Governor Namadi. During an earlier solidarity march in Dutse, supporters reaffirmed their determination to achieve the target through sustained grassroots mobilisation, house-to-house campaigns and community engagement.
At the Dutse gathering, APC leaders called on party members, political office holders and community leaders to strengthen their mobilisation efforts and ensure active participation at the polling-unit level. They urged supporters to return to their respective constituencies and intensify campaigns for all APC candidates, from the presidency to the State House of Assembly.
The renewed assurance to Senator Yari highlights the determination of Jigawa APC stakeholders to position the state as a major electoral stronghold for President Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.
As political activities continue to gather momentum, APC leaders and supporters in Jigawa have maintained that achieving the two-million-vote target will require more than campaign rallies, emphasising sustained grassroots engagement, voter mobilisation and active participation across the state during the 2027 presidential election.
