The APC United Residents Alliance, Kano (AURA-Kano) has launched a campaign to mobilise no fewer than one million non-indigene votes for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf in 2027.
The campaign was unveiled on Sunday at a town hall meeting held at Hilton Palace, Kano, under the theme “Integration for Progress: Mobilising the Non-Indigene Votes for APC.”
Coordinator of AURA-Kano, Seyi Olorunsola, said the group aims to deliver a decisive voting bloc across Kano’s 44 local government areas.
He identified Sabon-Gari, Noman’s Land, and Jaba as areas with dense settler populations whose votes often influence election outcomes.
Olorunsola cited the completion of New Road and the ongoing reconstruction of Zungeru Road and Serkin Yaki Road in Sabon-Gari as evidence of Yusuf’s performance. He noted that the governor renamed Serkin Yaki Road after First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu.
“No governor has done what Abba Yusuf is doing at the speed he is going. Tinubu, a detribalised democrat, is a promoter of unity, and his infrastructure drive also speaks for him,” Olorunsola said. “If he is not re-elected to complete these roads, it will distort investor confidence,” he added.
In his remarks, the immediate past CAN Chairman, Samuel Adeyemo, urged attendees not to transfer their voter cards back to their home states.
“Do not transfer your voter card to your village. It makes no sense. You do your business here. Come out and vote, bring your chairs so you don’t get tired,” Adeyemo said.
“Vote and stay here and be prayerful that Kano shall be well. From Baba Ganduje, Kano has been very peaceful, and Yusuf is sustaining that. Tinubu is revitalising the economy and constructing roads.”
Hafizu Sani Liman, Secretary of the City Boys Movement, Kano chapter, spoke on the group’s voting strength and urged members to obtain their PVCs.
Women Leader of CBM, Hajiya Ramlat Muhamad Nasiru, said women were central to electoral success. “Under the Renewed Hope of Tinubu and Yusuf, women have not been left behind. Go to your homes and churches and tell others,” she urged.
AURA-Kano is expected to extend the campaign across all 44 LGAs ahead of the 2027 general elections.
