Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Kebbi State Governor, Nasir Idris, has declared that the state remains aligned with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections, citing ongoing political support for the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.<\/p>\n

The governor gave the speech during a state unity rally organised by the APC at the Haliru Abdu Stadium in Birnin Kebbi, which drew party supporters from across the 21 local government areas of the state.<\/p>\n

Idris said the turnout at the rally reflected continued backing for the party, noting that Kebbi remained committed to the APC\u2019s political direction as preparations for the next election cycle gather momentum.<\/p>\n

He also referenced federal-backed projects in the state as part of the basis for the administration\u2019s alignment with the President.<\/p>\n

The rally featured the presence of key party stakeholders, including members of the National Assembly and former governors, among them Abubakar Atiku Bagudu and Usman Nasamu Dakingari.<\/p>\n

Speaking earlier, the state APC Chairman, Kana Zuru, and the state women leader, Aishatu Abubakar Gunabi, said the party remained united in the state and called on political office holders to meet public expectations.<\/p>\n

Also speaking, the APC National Organising Secretary, Suleiman Mohammed Argungu, expressed confidence in the party\u2019s prospects in Kebbi, citing what he described as strong grassroots mobilisation.<\/p>\n

The rally comes amid early political positioning by parties and stakeholders ahead of the 2027 general elections.<\/p>\n
