News Investigators/ Niger State Governor, Mohammed Umaru-Bago of Niger has assured that the state will deliver massive votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and all other All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates in the 2027 general elections.
Mr Umaru-Bago gave the assurance on Monday in Minna while inaugurating the state Presidential/Gubernatorial Campaign Council (PGCC), expressing confidence in the party’s chances of victory in the forthcoming elections.
The governor attributed his optimism to the transformative projects being executed by the APC-led Federal Government and the Niger Government, saying the achievements would make the party’s campaign easier.
“Our work will speak for us. Support the President and the APC-led government so that we can finish the jobs we have started,” he said.
He urged the people of Niger to support Tinubu and other APC candidates, stressing that continuity in governance would enable the party to consolidate on its ongoing developmental initiatives.
Mr Umaru-Bago also expressed confidence in the ability of the Campaign Director-General and members of his team to mobilise voters and secure victory for the APC in the 2027 general elections.
He described the inauguration of the council as an important step towards strengthening the party’s campaign machinery and ensuring effective coordination among its members ahead of the polls.
The governor urged members of the public, particularly media practitioners, to embrace constructive reportage and avoid sensationalism capable of heating up the polity and triggering a crisis.
He emphasised the importance of responsible communication, peaceful political engagement and issue-based campaigns as the state prepares for the 2027 general elections.
Also speaking, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, described the APC as a formidable political platform, saying the party remained a strong contender in the forthcoming elections.
Mr Idris said the achievements of the Tinubu administration, particularly its economic reforms, would form a major part of the party’s campaign message ahead of the 2027 general elections.
He expressed confidence in the president’s leadership, maintaining that Tinubu was repositioning and transforming the Nigerian economy through his administration’s policies and programmes.
“We are going to campaign on the records that the president and his administration have laid in the last three and a half years,” Idris said.
He described the campaign council as a winning team and urged those appointed to various positions to regard their responsibilities as an opportunity to serve Niger State and the country.
“This is a winning team already. And for those appointed, it is an opportunity to serve the state and the country,” he said.
In his remarks, Mu’azu Bawa-Rijau, National Vice Chairman of the APC in the North Central Zone, said the appointments into the campaign council were based on individual capacity, competence and track records.
Mr Bawa-Rijau assured party supporters that the APC would intensify its mobilisation efforts across Niger State, stressing that the party would leave no stone unturned in its quest to secure massive votes for its candidates in 2027.
Earlier, Ahmed Musa-Ibeto, Director-General of the Niger PGCC, expressed appreciation to the governor and the APC leadership for finding him and other members worthy of the responsibility of canvassing support for the party.
