The All Progressive Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council has begun a spiritual approach to ensure the reelection of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027. The campaign team, led by Kano state Deputy Governor Alhaji Murtala Sule Garo and Director General Senator AbdulAziz Yari, visited the residence of the African Leader of the Qadiriyya Sect, Sheikh Qaribullah Nasiru Kabara, in Kano. The visit aimed to seek the Sheikh's support and blessings for President Tinubu's reelection bid.
The APC Presidential Campaign Council has adopted Town Hall Meetings with Nigerians and meetings with religious leaders as initial moves to unveil President Tinubu's reelection campaign. According to Senator Yari, the Council aims to directly hear from Nigerians about their needs and expectations from President Tinubu. This approach allows the Council to gather insights into the feelings and needs of Nigerians and quickly find solutions to them.
The campaign team, which included top APC chieftains such as Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and Senator Ali Modu Sberif, paid a courtesy call to Sheikh Kabara. During the visit, Senator Yari appealed for the Sheikh's support and blessings, emphasizing the importance of spiritual guidance in the election. The Council believes that Allah's guidance is essential in everything, and they are seeking the blessings of various Islamic sects, including the Qadiriyya Sect.
Senator Yari highlighted President Tinubu's efforts to stabilize the economy, assuring Nigerians that they will soon begin to enjoy the real economic blueprint of the administration. He also mentioned that the administration has adopted continuity in governance, carrying over and completing abandoned projects by previous administrations. Examples of such projects include the Kano-Maradi-Zindar rail line project and the Kano, Kaduna to Abuja rail line project.
Deputy Governor Murtala Sule Garo assured the APC Presidential Campaign Council of Kano's full support for President Tinubu's reelection in 2027. He acknowledged that Kano has benefited from the good governance of the APC government at both state and national levels. The Deputy Governor expressed confidence in President Tinubu's ability to continue delivering good governance to Nigerians.
Sheikh Qaribullah Nasiru Kabara, the leader of the Qadiriyya Sect, promised to support President Tinubu's reelection bid. The Sheikh's endorsement is significant, as his sect has a substantial following in Nigeria. The APC Presidential Campaign Council's visit to the Sheikh is part of their efforts to engage with various Islamic sects and Christian denominations across the country.
The APC Presidential Campaign Council's spiritual approach to the election is a new strategy, reflecting the party's recognition of the importance of spiritual leadership in Nigerian politics. By seeking the blessings and support of prominent Islamic and Christian clerics, the Council aims to build a strong foundation for President Tinubu's reelection bid. The party is confident that with the support of Nigerians and spiritual guidance, President Tinubu will emerge victorious in the 2027 presidential election.
