A prominent support group for Nigeria's ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is launching a significant push for grassroots mobilization across Katsina State. The Tinubu/Dikko Again 2027 Women and Youth Center aims to secure the re-election of President Bola Tinubu and Governor Dikko Umaru Radda in the upcoming 2027 general elections.
The Tinubu/Dikko Again 2027 Women and Youth Center is determined to ensure an overwhelming victory for President Bola Tinubu, Governor Umar Dikko Radda and all APC candidates in the 2027 general elections.
The group's Director-General, Salisu Majigiri, who also represents the Mashi/Dutsi Federal Constituency, announced the intensified efforts during a stakeholders' meeting in Katsina. Majigiri expressed the organization's determination to ensure an "overwhelming victory" for APC candidates. He lauded President Tinubu's administration for its commitment to national security, citing the approval of four new Nigerian Army divisions and the recruitment of 28,000 military personnel. Majigiri noted that three of the new divisions are located in Northern Nigeria, reflecting a focus on regional security.
Three of the newly approved divisions are located in Northern Nigeria in Makurdi, Benue State; Ilorin, Kwara State; and Jalingo, Taraba State reflecting the administration’s commitment to improving security in the region.
Furthermore, the Tinubu/Dikko Again 2027 Women and Youth Center commended the Federal Government's unveiling of a $3.05 billion social protection and human capital development package. This initiative includes programs like the Nigeria Community Action for Resilience and Economic Stimulus, and the Human Capital Opportunities for Prosperity and Equity (HOPE) initiative. These programs aim to bolster resilience and economic opportunities, particularly in vulnerable communities.
The approval for the recruitment of 28,000 Army personnel is the largest military expansion in recent years.
On the state level, Majigiri praised Governor Radda's recent executive orders designed to combat insecurity, stating that these measures are already yielding positive results, especially for the current farming season. The group also highlighted the governor's achievements in education, including the recruitment of 2,158 additional teachers, bringing the total under his administration to 9,481. The state's education reforms were described as a model for other states, underscoring a commitment to improving learning outcomes and access.
We call on all our members and supporters to work assiduously for the success of all APC candidates in Katsina State during the 2027 gen
