Governor Nasir Idris of Kebbi State has pledged to secure the state for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections. The declaration came after a closed-door stakeholders’ meeting in Birnin Kebbi, attended by prominent APC figures, including:
- Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Atiku Bagudu
- Former Minister of State for Humanitarian Affairs, Yusuf Tanko-Sununu
- Senators Adamu Aliero (Kebbi Central) and Yahaya Abubakar-Abdullahi (Kebbi North)
- APC National Organising Secretary, Alhaji Suleiman Argungu
- Former lawmaker, Bala Ibn Na’Allah (Kebbi South)
Governor Idris stated, “By God’s grace, the APC has come to stay in Kebbi. The people of Kebbi believe in the APC and, In Sha Allah, they will deliver the party at both the state and national levels.”
The announcement follows the defection of Maj. Gen. Aminu Bande (retd.), the 2023 PDP governorship candidate, to the African Democratic Congress (ADC), aligning with what he described as a collective decision of his people to embrace a more stable political platform.
