Vice-President Shettima has urged Jigawa residents to support Tinubu in 2027 as the APC held its campaign rally in Dutse, where the President promised reliable power, more jobs and support for businesses.
Vice-President Kashim Shettima has urged the people of Jigawa State to support President Bola Tinubu and other All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates in the 2027 general elections, expressing confidence in the party’s chances in the state.
Shettima made the appeal on Tuesday during the APC presidential campaign rally in Dutse, the Jigawa State capital, where he described the state as a stronghold of the ruling party.
He also claimed that prominent political figures in the state, including former governors, were aligned with the APC, and expressed confidence that Tinubu would secure substantial votes in Jigawa in the next presidential election.
The rally featured an address by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who promised to improve electricity supply, reduce the cost of living, strengthen the country’s industrial base and expand employment opportunities if re-elected in 2027.
“We will reduce the cost of living. We will provide reliable power, not the whole privatisation that is not working. We provide you with reliable power in this Nigeria,” the President said.
Tinubu also pledged support for nano, small and medium-scale businesses as part of efforts to stimulate economic activities and create more jobs.
The presidential visit also featured the commissioning of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Multipurpose Skills Acquisition Centre and the inauguration of agricultural equipment procured by the Jigawa State Government.
The equipment includes more than 400 tractors and 60 combine harvesters, intended to improve mechanised farming, boost agricultural productivity and strengthen food security in the state.
The projects form part of Governor Umar Namadi’s development initiatives aimed at expanding vocational training and improving agricultural production across Jigawa State.
The rally was part of the APC’s political mobilisation ahead of the 2027 general elections.
