The Jigawa State Governor, Umar Namadi, has once again declared that his promise to deliver over one million votes to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 general election remains "irreversible and uncompromising". The governor made this announcement shortly after casting his vote in the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primary election held at his polling ward in Kafin Hausa Local Government Area on Saturday, May 23, 2026.
Addressing journalists, Governor Namadi cited the massive turnout of party members during the primary election as a clear testament to the confidence and trust the people of Jigawa place in President Tinubu. "As you can see, the people have lined up in large numbers for Bola Ahmed Tinubu, while his opponents have no visible support here," Governor Namadi said. "This is a testament to how popular the President is in the minds of the people of Jigawa".
The governor further praised the President’s democratic credentials, adding, "The peaceful and orderly conduct of this exercise demonstrates that President Bola Tinubu embodies democracy. He believes in internal party democracy as a pivot for national democratic survival, peace, and the progress of the country". Mr. Namadi expressed confidence that the outcome of the presidential primary would send a strong signal to opposition parties that the APC is on track for a sweeping victory at all levels in the 2027 general elections.
Reinforcing his earlier stance, Namadi dismissed speculations regarding the possible 2027 presidential ambition of former President Goodluck Jonathan, declaring that no opposition candidate can prevent President Tinubu from securing a landslide victory. "This is democracy. Anybody can contest, but when Nigerians decide, the result will be clear. APC is ready for any opposition, and by God’s grace, we will deliver President Tinubu again in 2027," the governor declared.
The governor also provided details of the presidential primary results in the state, which saw President Tinubu secure all 206,520 votes cast, as his sole challenger, Mr. Stanley Osifo, recorded zero votes across the 27 local government areas. Governor Namadi noted that the state has a total of 330,327 registered APC members.
Commending the discipline and integrity displayed by APC members and the wider Jigawa community throughout the primary exercise, Governor Namadi urged party faithful to maintain the momentum and begin strategising for the upcoming general elections.
