Stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano have contributed a total of N50 million towards the purchase of nomination forms for Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The contribution was announced at a stakeholders’ meeting held at the Coronation Hall of the Kano Government House, where participants also adopted the President as the party’s sole presidential candidate for the upcoming polls.
Among those listed as part of the initiative were Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusu, and a former governor of the state, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, alongside other party leaders.
According to a statement issued by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Mustapha Muhammad, the meeting brought together key stakeholders who reaffirmed their commitment to the continuity of Tinubu’s administration.
A motion for the President’s adoption was moved by Rabiu Sulaiman Bichi and received unanimous backing from participants.
Speaking at the meeting, the Kano State APC Chairman, Umar Haruna Doguwa, said the state chapter had initially planned to fully fund the nomination forms but later agreed on a collective contribution.
“We have agreed to contribute the sum of N50 million towards the purchase of the expression of interest and nomination forms for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” he said.
Stakeholders noted that the endorsement reflected their confidence in the President’s leadership and ongoing reforms, as well as their determination to secure victory for the party in 2027.
The meeting also adopted Governor Yusuf as the party’s sole governorship candidate in Kano State, a move described as part of efforts to strengthen unity within the party ahead of the elections.
Party leaders commended members for their support and called for sustained unity to advance both the APC’s electoral prospects and the state’s development agenda.
