2027: Kebbi APC Chieftain Withdraws Support For Tinubu

Ahead of the 2027 general elections, an ardent follower of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kebbi State, Adamu Yahaya, has announced the withdrawal of his support.

Yahaya said he took the action because of lack of inclusivity, citing his desire for recognition from the party’s leaders.

The politician, also known as Adam Fakai, said he would immediately halt the promotion of all activities and programmes that seek to advance the policies of the Tinubu-led federal government.

In a statement he issued yesterday, Fakai expressed frustration that he had spent more than two years using his personal resources, time, and energy to publicise the achievements of the Tinubu administration across Northern and Southern Nigeria, based on his belief in Tinubu’s leadership to develop Nigeria.

“I have spent more than two years using my money, time and energy to promote the programmes and achievements of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration to Nigerians in both the North and South. I did so because I believed in his efforts to build a better Nigeria,” he said.

Fakai, however, alleged that despite his commitment, he had not received any encouragement, appreciation or support from APC leaders either in Kebbi State or at the federal level.

He claimed that although some prominent political figures had shared photographs and videos of government projects he personally visited and documented, none had reached out to acknowledge or support his efforts.

“I am from Kebbi State, and throughout this period, I never received any form of encouragement or support from politicians in my party, either at the state or federal level.

“Unfortunately, some prominent figures at the federal level use the pictures and videos of government projects that I captured and shared, yet none have ever contacted me directly,” he said.

Fakai further expressed the opinion that he might have received greater support if he had come from another state.

He said the perceived neglect informed his decision to discontinue promoting the Tinubu administration.

Despite his decision, Fakai expressed appreciation to individuals who encouraged him with prayers and words of support during the period.

Checks show that Fakai became known on social media for visiting major Federal Government projects and publishing photographs, videos and reports aimed at informing the public about the programmes of the Tinubu administration.

Among the projects he highlighted were major road infrastructure and other development initiatives executed by the Federal Government.

Unfortunately, attempts to obtain reactions from the APC leadership in Kebbi State and officials of the Federal Government regarding Fakai’s claims were unsuccessful.
