Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, has pledged to mobilise support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in the 2027 general elections.
Matawalle made the pledge on Thursday while addressing a large gathering of All Progressives Congress (APC) supporters at his residence in Gusau.
Newsmen reports that the gathering preceded the arrival of First Lady, Sen. Remi Tinubu, scheduled to visit Zamfara on Friday.
“I am highly committed to ensuring that President Tinubu secures a second term.
“I am highly committed to ensuring the President completes his eight-year tenure.
“Insha Allah, we will do everything possible to mobilise support for President Tinubu’s re-election,” he said.
Matawalle urged party supporters and stakeholders to work for Tinubu’s re-election and the victory of Gov. Dauda Lawal and other APC candidates in the state.
He commended Tinubu’s efforts in tackling insecurity, developing infrastructure and promoting political cohesion across the country.
The minister said his next priority, after discharging his responsibilities at the Defence Ministry, would be mobilising support for Tinubu’s re-election.
He also pledged to sustain unity within the APC in Zamfara ahead of the 2027 general elections.
On security, Matawalle said the Federal Government would deploy additional personnel along major highways in the state to protect commuters from persistent bandit attacks.
Earlier, Director-General of the Tinubu Again Movement, Dr Auwal Abdullahi, urged APC supporters to intensify mobilisation for Tinubu’s re-election.
Abdullahi said the organisation had introduced welfare and empowerment programmes targeting youths, women and other groups ahead of the elections.
He said the initiatives were designed to ensure equitable distribution of empowerment opportunities among beneficiaries at different levels.
He urged party supporters to participate actively in the mobilisation drive ahead of the 2027 general elections.
