APC Inaugurates 28-man Grassroot Mobilisation Movement for Niger State

In Minna, the All Progressives Congress (APC) inaugurated a 28-man Grassroot Mobilisation Movement aimed at securing the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for Niger State. The Movement includes the Governor Alhaji Mohammed Umaru Bago and all candidates contesting various positions in the state. Zonal coordinators for the three senatorial districts and one coordinator for each of the 25 local governments were also part of the group.

The North Central Zonal Coordinator, Alhaji Ibrahim Khaleel Aliyu, emphasized the need for the coordinators to establish units in every ward and polling unit, with the goal of recording at least 500 votes in each polling unit for Tinubu, Bago, and the rest of the party's candidates in the upcoming January and February 2027 general elections.

Aliyu urged the coordinators to convince voters to vote for the APC from top to bottom, warning those campaigning against the President and Governor Bago to reconsider their stance, as a loss for President Tinubu could also impact Northern governors in 2027. The coordinator also cautioned opposition party candidates within the APC to be vigilant, as they would be monitored and taken action against if necessary.

Special Adviser Political Matters (Zone B) to Governor Bago, Alhaji Yusuf Tagwai, described the campaign as a "war, not with weapons, but with voters' cards." Tagwai urged the Movement members to leave Minna and go to their polling units, setting up committees from the ward to the state level to achieve their objectives. He reminded the people that in the history of Niger State, no government has done better than President Tinubu and Governor Bago.
