The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Jigawa State has kicked off its 2027 governorship and presidential campaign, with Governor Umar Namadi calling on supporters to deliver massive votes for President Bola Tinubu and all APC candidates in the state.

The campaign, which begins in the North-West Senatorial District, takes the party’s mobilisation drive to Gumel, where the governor presents APC flags to candidates contesting under the party’s platform, formally signalling the start of campaign activities across the state.

Addressing supporters, Governor Namadi renews his commitment to education, job creation, agricultural development and youth empowerment, insisting that his administration remains focused on improving the lives of ordinary people.

He says his government has delivered on its campaign promises and pledges to create more job opportunities, strengthen agriculture and expand economic opportunities across the state.

The governor also delivers President Tinubu’s message, announcing plans by the Federal Government to establish agricultural warehouses in Jigawa to improve the storage of farm produce.

According to him, a committee has been set up to drive the initiative, while private companies will be encouraged to buy produce directly from farmers at competitive prices.

He says the move will reduce post-harvest losses, protect farmers from poor market prices and improve their earnings.

Governor Namadi therefore urges farmers to increase production, assuring them of continued support from the Federal Government.

Before arriving at the campaign venue, the governor pays homage to the Emir of Gumel, seeking royal blessings for the political engagement.

The rally attracts a large crowd of party supporters, who welcome the governor with APC flags and chants of support for President Tinubu and the party’s candidates.

In his remarks, the Jigawa APC Chairman, Ahmad Garba, says the party will sustain its development programmes if re-elected, calling on residents to support all APC candidates.

The Director-General of the state campaign council, Lawan Yau Roni, also points to the administration’s 12-point development agenda as evidence of the party’s commitment to Jigawa’s development.

Other party leaders and political stakeholders use the rally to appeal for support, stressing the need for continuity in government.

A major highlight of the event is the defection of 1,103 members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC, a development the ruling party describes as a boost to its political strength ahead of the 2027 general election.

The Gumel rally marks the beginning of the APC’s zonal campaign mobilisation, as the party seeks to consolidate its grassroots support and secure another mandate in Jigawa State.
