Yilwatda highlighted ongoing road projects, gas infrastructure, and student loan opportunities, asserting that more kilometres of road have been constructed in the North under Tinubu's administration than in any previous government. During a meeting with a delegation from the Arewa for Asiwaju group in Abuja, Yilwatda commended the group for its inclusive structure and mobilisation plans for the 2027 general elections, promising their cooperation with the APC and the Presidential Campaign Council to mobilise voters across the 19 northern states and the Federal Capital Territory. He emphasized the importance of effective planning, strong structures, and cooperation among stakeholders to achieve electoral success. The A4A initiative, led by former Kano State Governor Ibrahim Shekarau, aims to mobilise voters, identify weak electoral performance areas, and address factors contributing to voter apathy in Northern Nigeria. Shekarau announced the group's secretariat inauguration on October 17, with Vice-President Kashim Shettima set to attend.",
