Nigeria: Yobe Youths Stage Historic Rally for Tinubu, Buni, Wali, Other APC Candidates

Thousands of youths, women and other supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Saturday staged a mega solidarity rally in Yobe State to express support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's re-election bid, Governor Mai Mala Buni and the party's governorship candidate, Alhaji Baba Malam Wali, ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The rally, tagged "Tinubu Must Go Again, Cika Alkawari", was organised by the Tinubu Must Go Again Movement in collaboration with the Yobe State leadership of the APC.

The procession, which attracted a large turnout of party supporters, commenced at the Damaturu flyover and terminated at the Pilgrim Commission Office Complex along Damaturu-Potiskum Road.

The Secretary to the Yobe State Government (SSG), Dr Mohammed Goje, led APC stakeholders and supporters at the solidarity walk, which was coordinated by the National Coordinator of the movement, Professor Sherif Almuhajir, and its State Coordinator, Dr Mukhtar Yarima Bularafa.

Participants carried banners, posters of President Tinubu, APC flags and placards highlighting what they described as achievements of the President's administration, while chanting solidarity slogans in support of the party's continued leadership.

Speaking at the rally, Dr Goje said Yobe State had every reason to support President Tinubu, noting that Governor Mai Mala Buni had recorded significant achievements in the state with the support and cooperation of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

He said the cordial relationship between the state and federal governments had contributed to development efforts in Yobe, urging residents to sustain their support for the APC and its candidates.

Also speaking, Professor Almuhajir said President Tinubu deserved another term, citing what he described as the administration's achievements across different parts of the country.

He said the movement was committed to mobilising grassroots support for the President and strengthening the APC ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The rally also provided an opportunity for supporters to reaffirm their backing for Governor Buni's leadership and the party's governorship candidate, Alhaji Baba Malam Wali, as political activities gather momentum ahead of the elections.

The solidarity procession, which lasted from about 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., ended peacefully.
