2027: Kano Ulemas, Others Hold Prayers For Tinubu’s, Barau’s Success By Abdullahi Yusuf September 11,(THEWILL) – Some Islamic Scholars and supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the 44 Local Government Areas of Kano State on Thursday held prayers for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027. The Ulemas also sacrificed a Ram seeking divine guidance and success of the President in the poll. The gathering also prayed for the Deputy President of the Senate, Barau Jibrin, to win the governorship election in Kano State, come 2027. The spiritual event which was held at Gidan Baban Liya, Kurna in Kano municipal, was organised by the Tinubu/Barau/Ata Movement and chaired by Malam Mohammed Sabiu Nuhu. The group, which tipped the Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development, Abdullahi Yusuf Ata, as Barau’s running mate for APC governorship in the state, explained that its mission was to rally political support and solicit votes for Tinubu and Barau,ahead of the 2027 general elections. Highlight of the occasion was the slaughter of a ram for Allah and a special Islamic prayer session featuring Qur’anic recitations led by Musa Babaliya and attended by hundreds of Ulemas, Imams, women and children. The prayer, they explained,was for God, who gives leadership, to give the APC leaders electoral victory in 2027. Speaking to Journalists, the Convener, Hon. Seyi Olorunsola said, “we are undertaking this spiritual aspect to have President Tinubu secure his second term election, and for Senator Barau Jibrin to win the governorship seat in Kano State in the next election.” “President Tinubu has done incredibly well in just two years in office; look at the road projects, decline in food prices, employment opportunities and above all, his efforts in tackling security challenges. “In the last few years, Nigerians who were crying of insecurity and high prices of essential commodities are now beginning to laugh, as they see real changes. “We have everything it takes to deliver the president in Kano for the second term. Tinubu is a man of his words, who has kept faith and promises with the people and we are grateful indeed,” Olorunsola said. On why Senator Barau Jibrin should fly the APC banner in the state, Olorunsola explained that he is the strongest person who can take over power from NNPP at the polls. According to him, the Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development, Yusuf Abdullahi Ata as Barau’s running mate will be a sure ticket. “Don’t forget that in the 2023 election we had problems in Kano Central because the current governor, Abba Yusuf, comes from that zone. Thank God, President Tinubu in his wisdom, appointed Yusuf Abdullahi Atah, who is also from Kano Central, as minister of state. Now, Atah, a former Speaker of the State House of Assembly, is the best person to checkmate the governor in Kano Central. “Also, while Kano North has Barau Jibrin with Kano Southern district having Senator Kawu Sumaila, by our calculation, the APC campaign team for 2027 election in Kano will be so formidable that it will cruise to victory with ease,” Olorunsola said. Also speaking, Saminu Khalid Abdullahi, who is the Sarkin Yakin Matasa, said “the Tinubu/Barau/Ata (TBA) Movement is a new support group established with the objective of mobilising grassroots support for President Bola Tinubu, Barau and Atah, while rallying citizens behind their laudable efforts in governance and nation-building, as we approach the 2027 general elections.”
