A group called Arewa Support Tinubu has announced that the northern region will once again vote in large numbers for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.
The declaration was made at a press conference in Abuja on Tuesday, where the group passed a vote of confidence in the president.
In his address to the media, the group’s chairman, Hon. Joseph Maiwada, explained that their continued support for the Tinubu administration was based on the president’s achievements over the past year.

In 2024 alone, security forces neutralized over 8,000 terrorists and bandits, arrested 11,600 individuals, and recovered more than 10,000 weapons.
Wada also noted that President Tinubu’s government has been actively working on infrastructure and economic projects, including the Presidential Initiative on CNG, and has made strides in attracting foreign investments.
He pointed to the $5 billion investment by Shell and its partners in the Bonga North deep offshore oil project, which is expected to generate jobs and stimulate regional economic growth.
Furthermore, Wada highlighted the government’s initiatives such as the Students Loan Fund and the Consumer Credit Corporation, which aim to empower students and workers. These programs have already benefited over 300,000 students.
“In terms of security, President Tinubu has taken bold steps to address the challenges facing the country. He has increased funding for the military and security agencies, and has launched initiatives to promote community policing and conflict resolution.
“As we move forward, we are committed to supporting the implementation of the Renewed Hope Agenda, and to working with all stakeholders to ensure its success. We believe that with the support of Nigerians and the international community, we can achieve our goals and create a brighter future for our country.
“Overall, President Tinubu’s projects in the North have focused on economic development, security, and social welfare, with a goal of improving the lives of Nigerians and promoting sustainable growth.
“Notable among the renewed hope benefits to the north is the appointment of Arewa sons and daughters into positions in his government, including; the SGF, minister of defense, humanitarian among others but few to mention,” Wada said.

The leader of the group in Jigawa State, Abdullah Gumel, also praised President Tinubu for his efforts in addressing insecurity, particularly in the northern region, where people can now travel on roads without the fear of kidnapping by bandits and insurgents.
“We have decided to hold this press conference to express our total support to His Excellency, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. As Nigerians we have seen different political dispensations but what we are seeing now under President Tinubu is quite wonderful achievements.
“Before you cross a river you must endure some difficulties, Mr President has tried in various ways but due to political propaganda from unscrupulous politicians from the country who want to see the exit of APC administration come 2027. Whosoever that is going against Tinubu administration is doing so at the detriment of Nigeria.
“We want to tell the whole world our position today that we as bonafide citizens of Nigeria and proud members of APC as a party who worked for the success of the administration we are now here under the umbrella of northern Nigeria we are passing vote of confidence on President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. We promised to vote for him again come 2027,” he said.
