Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State has appealed to the Northern electorate to support the re-election of President Bola Tinubu next year to enable him to complete two terms in office.

Also, Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State, yesterday, defied a downpour to kick off the mobilisation of support for Tinubu and other All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates ahead of the forthcoming general elections

Yusuf declared that the re-election of Tinubu should not be compromised, especially by the Northerners, considering the sacrifice Tinubu made during the eight-year administration of the late President Muhammadu Buhari.

According to Governor Yusuf, it is only appropriate for the North to respect the unwritten rotational agreement between the North and South by allowing President Tinubu to complete eight years in office.

The governor spoke while receiving 50 branded saloon cars donated by Convener of PBAT Door-to-Door Movement and Niger Delta leader, Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo.

Yusuf reiterated that the North must remain on the path of honour and abide by the initial consensus reached with Southern stakeholders, insisting that Nigeria’s unity should not be compromised for any selfish interest.

He applauded Tompolo for donating the campaign vehicles, just as he reassured him that the state would vote massively for all APC candidates.

ZULUM, on his return from a strategic trip to the United States and Canada, led a massive rally in Maiduguri where party faithful and residents demonstrated their loyalty to the ruling party.

Addressing the crowd at the Government House, Governor Zulum underscored the critical importance of continuity in governance. He reminded the gathering of the significant security gains achieved in the state and the wider North-East region, attributing the relative peace and stability to the collaborative efforts of the state and the Federal Government.

He added that support from the Federal Government had been instrumental in the state’s recovery efforts, citing infrastructure rehabilitation and the resettlement of displaced persons.

He argued that returning the APC to power at both the state and federal levels was the only way to sustain the gains and prevent a regression into the dark days of insecurity.

“In the first four years of our administration, we worked hard to ensure the security of the lives of our people, and with the help of Almighty Allah, relative peace was attained, Zulum stressed. “Let us understand that the peace we are enjoying today is a result of our collective resilience and the federal government’s support.”
