The Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Muttaqha Darma, says voters in Katsina State will support President Bola Tinubu in 2027.

He stated this on Sunday during the inauguration of the Arewa for Asiwaju Group, known as A4A, in Katsina.

The minister also doubles as the Katsina State Coordination Committee chairman, with the group declaring its support for Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Speaking further, Darma said the group was established to mobilise support for Tinubu’s administration and communicate its achievements and interventions to people across Northern Nigeria.

He said, “This initiative was conceived by prominent Nigerians, including the National Security Adviser, former governors, ministers and former government officials.

“This group has the responsibility of coordinating and documenting the Federal Government’s projects and interventions across Northern Nigeria.

“The major aim of Arewa for Aswajuru is that there is a government office called Office for the Coordination of Northern Projects of this government.

“So that office has the specific task of putting together what this government did to Northern Nigeria. Now that office also felt it wise that it’s not only to coordinate the activities of the government in Northern Nigeria, but to also pull out an organisation that will go to all parts of Northern Nigeria and mention to the people of Northern Nigeria what this government did to Northern Nigeria, and our votes only meant for him”, he said.

Darma said the group would take its activities to different parts of the region to explain what he described as the achievements of the Tinubu administration.

He stressed that the primary purpose of the Katsina meeting was to formally inaugurate the state coordination committee, comprising selected personalities from the state.

On the 2027 elections, Darma said members of the group remained committed to supporting Tinubu. “Our votes for Tinubu in 2027 are non-negotiable.”
