2027 elections: Why we are backing Tinubu
Speaking on behalf of the group, KGGA chairman Aminu Abdullahi said President Tinubu had shown “courage” in handling Nigeria’s economy and deserved a second term in office.
“We have studied their performances critically, and we are convinced that these leaders represent the best hope for Kano State and Nigeria,” Abdullahi said.
The group said Tinubu’s administration had introduced reforms in infrastructure, electricity and social intervention programmes under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
“Despite global economic headwinds, his commitment to reforming Nigeria remains unshaken,” Abdullahi added.
Group praises Kano governor’s projects
The group also commended Governor Yusuf for what it described as progress in infrastructure, education, healthcare and youth empowerment since he assumed office in 2023.
According to the group, the Kano government has improved access to basic education, expanded rural road projects and upgraded water supply across parts of the state.
“We have seen new classrooms, renovated hospitals, and empowered youths across the 44 local governments,” Abdullahi said.
Kano lawmaker backed for higher responsibility
On Hon. Kabir Bichi, the group praised the lawmaker’s constituency projects and legislative role at the National Assembly.
