A former Deputy Governor of Sokoto State, Mukhtar Shehu Shagari, has called on northerners to support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in the 2027 general elections, citing infrastructure development and ongoing economic reforms.
Shagari, who also served as Minister of Water Resources and is currently Chairman of the Governing Board of the Nigerian Inland Waterways Authority, made the call while congratulating Tinubu, the leadership of the All Progressives Congress and other party stakeholders on the successful flag-off of the party’s presidential campaign in Kaduna State on Saturday.
In a statement issued by his media aide, Musa Ubandawaki, on Monday, Shagari described the event as a demonstration of the APC’s organisational strength, unity and determination to mobilise support for Tinubu ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
