Members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Borno on Saturday endorsed President Bola Tinubu at the party’s presidential primary election conducted across the 312 wards of the state.

From the Maiduguri metropolis to remote hinterland communities, enthusiastic party supporters queued behind the portrait of President Tinubu in the direct primary, demonstrating strong solidarity and support for his candidature in the 2027 general elections.

At Mafa Ward, Governor Babagana Zulum, delivered 2,175 votes representing 100 per cent support for President Tinubu in his polling ward.

Similarly, the APC gubernatorial candidate, Mustafa Gubio, participated in the exercise at Gubio 1 Ward in Gubio Local Government Area, where he delivered 5,980 votes for the president.

Speaking after the exercise, Mr Gubio commended residents for the impressive turnout and pledged continued mobilisation ahead of the general elections.

“You have seen how people have turned out. The turnout is massive. I therefore want to thank the people of Gubio who came from far and near to their respective wards to go out and elect Mr President.

“And Insha Allah, we will continue to mobilise people to see that in the main election, people of Gubio will vote massively for Mr President, the Vice President, and also in the other elections,” he said.

Mr Gubio also assured Mr Zulum that the Gubio Local Government would deliver overwhelming votes for the APC in the forthcoming elections.
