As part of preparations for the 2027 general election, the All Progressives Congress (APC)-aligned group, Arewa For Asiwaju (A4A), has inaugurated state, local government and ward coordinators in Jigawa State.
Speaking at the inauguration of the A4A office in Dutse, the state coordinator, Alhaji Aminu Sani Gumel, pledged to mobilise support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and secure Jigawa State for him in the 2027 presidential election.
According to him, the inauguration of the office and grassroots coordinators was an opportunity for members interacts and go back and continue mobilizing support for President Tinubu’s re-election.
He urged the coordinators to liaise with party leadership, stakeholders and members in their communities so that the campaign would be well coordinated, effective, and deliver the expected results.
Aminu Gumel who was the immediate former APC chairman in the state, also warned the coordinators and all party members against political violence, adding that, democracy is a game of conviction, not force.
He noted that, through peaceful campaigns and persuasion, the coordinators can convince everyone and every community to support and re-elect President Bola Ahmad Tinubu.
The state coordinator called on them to aggressively tighten their belts, go round the state, and inform the people the rationale behind the need to re-elect President Bola Ahmad Tinubu.
According to him, group members have all the needed points to use during the campaign, particularly the economic transformation initiated by President Tinubu and other development projects executed in Jigawa and Northern Nigeria for job creation and sustainable development.
Gumel also said that the group has a strong coordination mechanism, therefore, anyone with challenges can seek intervention from the local government coordinator or the state coordinator for immediate response.
“We are going to work in synergy with other registered APC groups, so every APC member or group is a partner in this work. However, our internal coordination will always monitor the activities of all coordinators to ensure we are all working on the same page.”
He commended the thousands of group members and other APC members gathered in Dutse for the inauguration of the state headquarters and executive members.
