Why reelecting Tinubu is mandatory – Jigawa speaker

Haruna Dangyatin, the Speaker of the Jigawa House of Assembly, stated on Saturday that voting for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections is compulsory for residents. Speaking at the inauguration of the All Progressives Congress presidential and governorship campaign council in Dutse, Dangyatin described supporting Tinubu as a religious obligation due to the President's Muslim faith, his Muslim running mate, and his support for the North.

Dangyatin noted that the North should reciprocate the support Tinubu provided to facilitate former President Muhammadu Buhari’s emergence. He added that the President has the interests of Jigawa State at heart and confirmed that Tinubu will visit the state despite being initially excluded from the campaign itinerary.

The Speaker, who also coordinates the City Boy Movement in Jigawa, said the group would intensify grassroots mobilization. According to Premium Times, Mr. Aliyu, who coordinates the pro-Tinubu support group, announced plans to increase house-to-house mobilization ahead of the polls.
