The Minister of State for Defence and founder of the Tinubu Again Campaign Movement Nationwide, Dr Bello Mohammed Matawalle, has expressed confidence that the All Progressives Congress (APC) will secure victory across the Northwest geopolitical zone in the 2027 general elections.
Matawalle gave the assurance during the Northwest Women Mobilisation Campaign in Zamfara State, where he welcomed the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, alongside Governor Dauda Lawal and other political leaders.
The First Lady received a grand reception at the Gusau International Airport, organised by the Tinubu Again Campaign Movement in collaboration with the Zamfara State Government.
Welcoming the First Lady, Matawalle, who was accompanied by Senator Abdulaziz Yari, described Zamfara as her second home and reaffirmed the state’s commitment to supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid.
“Your Excellency, I came ahead, alongside Senator Abdulaziz Yari, to personally receive you, considering the fact that Zamfara State is your second home and will continue to be your home now and always,” he said.
The former Zamfara State governor also assured the large gathering of APC supporters that the Tinubu Again Campaign Movement would intensify its grassroots mobilisation and empowerment programmes across the Northwest.
He disclosed that the movement was committed to empowering millions of women and youths, including persons living with disabilities, as part of efforts to strengthen political participation, inclusion and support for the Tinubu administration.
In her response, Senator Oluremi Tinubu expressed appreciation to Matawalle, Governor Lawal and other stakeholders for the warm reception and show of solidarity.
The First Lady reaffirmed her commitment to supporting Nigerians irrespective of their political affiliations, assuring women and other groups of her continued interest in their welfare and empowerment.
Matawalle recalled that during his tenure as Zamfara State governor in the 2023 general elections, President Tinubu secured significant electoral support across the Northwest, Northeast and North Central geopolitical zones.
He expressed optimism that the APC would consolidate its political strength in the Northwest ahead of the 2027 elections through sustained grassroots engagement, women mobilisation and inclusive empowerment initiatives.
