Gombe State Governor, Inuwa Yahaya, has declared that Northern Nigeria will once again support President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general election.
Yahaya, who also chairs the Northern States Governors Forum, made the statement on Tuesday during the opening of a two-day meeting hosted by the Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation at Arewa House in Kaduna.
He said President Tinubu had kept his promises to the North and deserves the region’s continued backing.
“When Tinubu came to us as a candidate, he made specific promises to Northern Nigeria,” Yahaya said. “The North gave him more than 60 percent of its votes, and today, he is fulfilling those promises.”
He listed major federal projects underway in the region, including the Abuja–Kaduna–Kano expressway, Kano–Katsina–Maradi rail line, the rehabilitation of the Kaduna refinery, the gas pipeline running from Abuja to Kano, and oil drilling at the Kolmani oilfields.
“These are not just projects, they represent growth and energy security for our people,” he said. “We must reward performance in 2027.”
