From Shafa’atu Suleiman, Sokoto
Thousands of All Progressives Congress (APC) supporters in Sokoto State have taken to the streets in a show of political solidarity with President Bola Tinubu and Governor Ahmed Aliyu ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The supporters, comprising youth coordinators from the 23 local government areas of the state, staged a solidarity procession under the platform of the City Boy Movement, reaffirming their commitment to mobilising grassroots support for the re-election bids of the two leaders.
The procession, led by the movement’s coordinator, Nasiru Bazza, saw participants march through major streets of Sokoto metropolis, displaying APC flags, banners and placards in support of the Tinubu-led Federal Government and Aliyu’s administration.
Speaking during the procession, Bazza described the rally as a demonstration of confidence in the leadership of the APC at both the national and state levels.
He said the movement was determined to strengthen the party’s grassroots structures by engaging young people, promoting political awareness and mobilising support across the state’s 23 local government areas.
According to him, the group believes that continuity in governance would provide an opportunity for both administrations to consolidate their policies, programmes and development initiatives.
Bazza expressed optimism that returning the APC to power in 2027 would allow the governments of Tinubu and Aliyu to implement more development-oriented programmes for Nigerians and the people of Sokoto State.
The Sokoto State Deputy Governor, who addressed the gathering, commended the youths for the show of solidarity and assured them that their message of support would be conveyed to President Tinubu and the APC national leadership.
The procession attracted several top government functionaries and party chieftains, including the Speaker of the Sokoto State House of Assembly, Tukur Bala Bodinga; APC State Chairman, Haruna S. Adiya; APC North-West Zonal Secretary, Isah Sadiq Achida; and Secretary to the State Government, Muhammad Bello Sifawa.
Others included the Chief of Staff, Government House, Aminu Haliru Dikko, members of the State House of Assembly, commissioners and other government officials.
The rally comes as political activities and mobilisation efforts gradually gather momentum ahead of the 2027 general elections, with political parties and support groups positioning themselves to strengthen their grassroots influence.
