Several Nigerian politicians are urging non-indigenous communities in Kano State—especially Yoruba and other groups—to mobilise support for President Bola Tinubu and APC candidates ahead of the 2027 general elections. The calls are framed as efforts to strengthen political participation and voting influence of communities living in the state.
Vanguard highlights a message from House of Representatives member Leke Abejide, who urges Yoruba and other non-indigenous residents in Kano to unite and mobilise support for Tinubu, Kano Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, and APC candidates. Legit.ng and Daily Post Nigeria emphasise the role of former Kogi State governor Yahaya Bello, who challenges Kano non-indigenes to deliver a specific voting target for Tinubu in 2027 and links the effort to ongoing political organisation.
Legit.ng also adds detail about a foundation unveiling N500m interest-free loans, tying it to Bello’s broader push. Across outlets, the story centres on vote mobilisation by non-indigenous groups, with the main variations being who is delivering the message and whether additional programme details or vote figures are included.
