2027: Minister vows to mobilise one million votes for Tinubu, Radda in Katsina
The Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Dr Muttaka Rabe-Darma, has vowed to mobilise over one million votes for President Bola Tinubu and Governor Dikko Radda of Katsina State ahead of the 2027 elections.
Abubakar Tsanni, the director-general of Grassroots Mobilisation for Tinubu/Dikko (GMTD 2027), announced this in Katsina on Sunday during an interactive session with youths and women groups.
Mr Rabe-Darma founded and chairs the GMTD, a support group established to mobilise grassroots support for Tinubu and Radda.
Mr Tsanni said the engagement aimed to strengthen mobilisation through partnerships and strategic interactions with political groups across the state.
He said the group is committed to ensuring the success of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections, particularly the re-election of Messrs Tinubu and Radda.
According to him, GMTD has established strong structures from polling units to ward, local government, zonal and state levels, with grassroots politicians coordinating activities.
He explained that the group already has 165 votes from each of the state’s 6,651 polling units, totalling more than 1.079 million votes.
“Each of the people involved has a voter card and is waiting for the election period to cast their votes for Tinubu and Dikko,” Mr Tsanni said.
He expressed confidence that the structures would deliver the desired success for the APC candidates in Katsina.
Speaking on behalf of the minister, APC chieftain, Danlami Kurfi, described Mr Rabe-Darma as a strong grassroots mobiliser.
Mr Kurfi said with the minister’s commitment and the growing support for APC across the country, the party would emerge victorious in the 2027 elections.
He urged party members to disregard opposition statements and remain committed to the APC’s success.
Also speaking, Alhaji Ali Abubakar-Albaba, chairman of the Katsina State House of Assembly Committee on Women Affairs, assured the political groups of continued support and inclusion before, during and after the elections.
He urged members to remain united and work towards the party’s success in the forthcoming polls.
