Former Katsina State Governor Ibrahim Shema has launched a new political mobilization network, Tinubu-Dikko Again 2027, to bolster support for President Bola Tinubu and Governor Dikko Radda. The organization aims to coordinate grassroots efforts across all 34 local government areas, wards, and polling units in Katsina State, preparing for the 2027 general elections.

Some of the critical decisions that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has taken in Nigeria as president, and the ones taken by our Governor, Dikko Umar Radda, were decisions that may be very difficult for Nigerians. But these decisions are necessary to correct the problems that bedevil Nigeria in terms of economy, security and the social well-being of our people.

He urged party members to actively engage with constituents and defend the records of the current administrations. Shema acknowledged that the economic reforms implemented by President Tinubu and Governor Radda have presented difficulties for Nigerians but stressed their necessity in tackling deep-rooted national issues.

I have no doubt, no fear and no hesitation about our chances in the next election.
