Niger State Governor Umar Bago has announced that the state will serve as the headquarters for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s campaign in the 2027 general elections, with himself leading the mobilisation efforts.
Addressing supporters, Bago said his leadership role was a continuation of his loyalty to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Tinubu, describing Niger State as the “campaign hot quarters” for the president’s re-election drive.
He criticised members of the APC who, despite benefiting from the party’s government, had turned against it, accusing some former governors, ministers, advisers, and commissioners of political betrayal after years of service under the party.
