Campaigning Against Tinubu Will Affect Your Re-election, Group Tells Northern Governors

All Progressives Congress North Central Grassroots Mobilisation Movement has urged northern governors to cease the continuing marketing campaign in opposition to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu within the North  lest they grow to be victims of their actions.

The group conceded that there have been unhealthy campaigns in opposition to the President’s reelection within the North, however warned that if the governors refused to behave rapidly, it might work in opposition to their reelection as effectively.

The coordinator of the motion, Alhaji Ibrahim Khaleel Aliyu, with different administrators of the group, made the remarks in Minna yesterday once they inaugurated the 25 native authorities arms of the organisation.

The group posited {that a} defeat of the president would give opposition events and their candidates extra power to marketing campaign and win within the Governorship election that may observe the presidential election.

According to Khaleel, who was the speedy previous secretary of the All Progressives Congress APC in Niger State, “We should not allow this trending issue to continue”.

He subsequently charged all of the native authorities coordinators and zonal coordinators to return to their wards and polling models and mobilise a minimum of 500 votes from each polling unit for President Tinubu and different APC candidates within the January and February 2027 elections

“This election is not about sitting at home; it is not about wearing flowing gowns and displaying bigmanism; it is about going to the people and convincing them of the need to vote APC from top to bottom”, Khaleel added

He cautioned members of APC from romancing with  candidates of opposition political events, saying that, “they are being watched and monitored;  at the appropriate time we will take action against them”

At the occasion, the Special Adviser on Political Matters (Zone B) to Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago, Alhaji Yusuf Tagwai, described the forthcoming marketing campaign “as a war, not a war with weapons but a war with voters’ cards”

Tagwai advised members of the Movement that “our assignment is not in Minna; you should go to your polling units, don’t stay in your homes; set up committees from ward to the state level to enable us to achieve our objective”.
