The Northern Nigeria Youths Union has promised to garner over two million votes for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.

The chairman of the union, Abubakar Aliyu, discussed this on Wednesday shortly after the conclusion of a major meeting held in Jos, Plateau.

“We are speaking after the conclusion of a large gathering of young men and women who have committed themselves to contributing to the journey of Tinubu.

“This is after seeing how he is implementing a myriad of developmental projects across the country, especially in the Northern parts of Nigeria,” Mr Aliyu said in a statement.

Mr Aliyu cited Mr Tinubu’s recent inauguration of the Abuja to Kaduna to Kano highway construction.

“The prices of various goods had also nosedived and even the price of fuel had reduced significantly,” the group’s leader stated. “We in our organisation, the Northern Nigeria Youth Union, assure the president that when the election comes, we will give him more than two million votes.”

Mr Aliyu stated that the union had registered members, Muslims and Christians, all volunteers in the 19 northern states.

He added, “It is not that we were given money from somewhere. We are just volunteers with patriotism. Considering our large membership, when the elections are held, we will also attract the attention of many people to cast their votes for Tinubu.

“Therefore, with a large membership of over 65,000 people, and the efforts we will make to get people with voter’s cards, will ensure that we generate the votes for Tinubu. This is a guarantee that this will indeed be done.”
