Former Jigawa Governors and Tinubu: A 2027 Election Pledge

According to Premium Times Nigeria, Vice President Kashim Shettima expressed confidence during an APC campaign rally in Dutse, Jigawa’s capital, that President Bola Tinubu would receive decisive support from the state in the 2027 presidential election. Shettima hinted at the backing of prominent politicians in the state, including former governors Sule Lamido and Sule Tambuwal. However, according to Daily Post Nigeria, Sule Lamido has denied supporting Tinubu, dismissing Shettima’s claims as untrue. The denial follows a post by DCL Hausa Facebook page that implied support from prominent Jigawa politicians for the APC in 2027. As the 2027 elections approach, the political landscape in Jigawa State is heating up, with allegiances and support shifting among political heavyweights.
