In the lead-up to the 2027 presidential election, a coalition of former governors, current senators, and prominent Northern political leaders has unveiled a political mobilisation platform called 'Arewa for Asiwaju' (A4A). The group, led by a 14-member Board of Trustees (BOT), aims to serve as the organised northern vanguard for President Bola Tinubu's re-election.
Chairman Ibrahim Shekarau, former Kano State Governor and former Education Minister, would be supported by Deputy Chairman Senator Ibrahim Geidam and Senator Simon Lalong. The BOT would operate a structured organogram across the 19 Northern states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), with a National Directorate headed by Director General Badaru Abubakar, who would oversee overall campaign strategy and the coordination of 19 state chapters and the FCT.
Deputy National Coordinators Ibrahim Shema, Bello, and Hon. Abdulrazaq Namdas would each oversee their respective North-West, North-Central, and North-East regions. Directors in various arms of the operation include Dr. Bala Wunti (Finance & Resource Mobilisation), Sen. Tijjani Kaura (Operations & Logistics), Abdulaziz Abdulaziz (Communications & Media Strategy), and Olofu (Head of Media Relations).
Other key roles include Ismail Ahmed (Mobilization), Abba Aliyu (Youth Affairs), and Senator Sani Musa (Business Community & Professionals), with Dr. Shamsuddeen Ahmad as his Deputy.
