Critical stakeholders of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Jigawa State have overwhelmingly endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s aspiration for a second term ahead of the 2027 election.
The stakeholders from the six geopolitical zones of the state made the resolution in Dutse, the state capital, during the handover of the Renewed Hope Sensitisation office, donated by a member of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) and National Financial Secretary, Hon. Bashir Gumel.
Gumel, in a statement made available to the Guardian in Abuja on Tuesday, stated that there is a need to properly document the various monumental projects and programmes of President Tinubu in the state.
Addressing a mammoth crowd of party loyalists and supporters in Dutse, Kafinhausa, the NWC member promised to empower the office to effectively collate the renewed hope agenda projects and programmes of the President, with the sole aim of enlightening the people of the state ahead of the 2027 general election.
Gumel noted that with the massive adoption of the president across the six geopolitical zones, stakeholders in Jigawa State cannot sit behind but must join the moving train.
He said, “The formal opening of this office, which is dedicated to the Renewed Hope Sensitisation Forum, is to serve as a channel of creating public awareness about the various initiatives of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR. This office is a testament to our resolve in Jigawa State to join all other well-meaning Nigerians in ensuring that the President continues the good work he started in 2023, fixing the country.
“As a supportive and loyal party member, I, Bashir Usman Gumel, a member of NWC and National Financial Secretary of our great party, hereby hand over this office to Renewed Hope Sensitisation Forum, in appreciation of Tinubu’s style of leadership and ongoing developmental projects throughout Jigawa State and Nigeria at large.
“As we all know, Jigawa is one of the states delivered to the All Progressives Congress during the 2023 presidential election under the leadership of Muhammad Badaru Abubakar, Honourable Minister of Defence. This gathering, under his leadership, will continue to support Tinubu’s reforms and deliver the state once again come 2027.
The event had in attendance members of the state House of Assembly, former Speaker of the Assembly, Rt. Hon. Idris Garba Kareka, and Hon. Abubakar Jallo.
