The Tinubu Support Group (TSG) has officially opened its Jigawa State office in Dutse, the state capital, as part of its efforts to mobilize support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's re-election in 2027. The group, led by Dr. Magaji Da’u Aliyu, its Deputy Director-General (North), aims to strengthen its presence across the state's 27 Local Government Areas (LGAs). The office was unveiled on November 1, 2026, at 12:23 pm WAT.
According to Dr. Aliyu, the TSG has established leadership structures across the state's 287 political wards and 5,422 polling units to coordinate grassroots mobilization. The group has also reorganized its state and senatorial district leadership structures to improve coordination and communication. This move is aimed at ensuring effective mobilization and coordination of supporters ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
The TSG's initiative is part of a broader strategy to secure support for Tinubu's re-election. Dr. Aliyu, a former two-term member of the House of Representatives, emphasized the importance of grassroots mobilization and urged members and leaders to intensify their activities. He also highlighted the North's commitment to supporting Tinubu for a second term, citing the massive turnout of supporters at the APC presidential campaign kick-off in Kaduna.
The North's support for Tinubu is rooted in a political understanding between the region and the South-West. According to Dr. Aliyu, the South-West backed Muhammadu Buhari for two terms under Tinubu's political leadership, with an understanding that the presidency would shift to the South-West after Buhari. Tinubu's emergence as president after Buhari represented the fulfillment of that understanding, which Dr. Aliyu believes the North should reciprocate by supporting his re-election.
Dr. Aliyu described the massive turnout of supporters at the APC presidential campaign kick-off in Kaduna as a clear demonstration of the North's support for Tinubu's second-term ambition. He emphasized that the North is prepared to support Tinubu for a second term, describing Tinubu's emergence after Buhari as the fulfillment of an earlier political understanding between the region and the South-West.
The TSG's efforts to mobilize support for Tinubu's re-election are part of a broader strategy to ensure the president's success in 2027. Dr. Aliyu urged APC members and supporters across the northern region to remain peaceful and law-abiding as preparations for the 2027 elections gather momentum. He maintained that the group would continue to coordinate its structures and mobilize support for the President across Jigawa and other parts of the country.
The unveiling of the TSG's Jigawa State office and the establishment of structures across 287 political wards mark a significant milestone in the group's efforts to mobilize support for Tinubu's re-election. With its reorganized leadership structures and grassroots mobilization efforts, the TSG is poised to play a key role in securing support for Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.
