Gov. Yusuf Rewards APC Polling Unit Supporters with 1,540 Plots, ₦100 Million to Boost 2027 Grassroots Mobilisation

Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, has distributed 1,540 plots of land and a cash grant of ₦100 million to leaders of the APC Polling Unit Supporters Association, popularly known as ’Yan Akwati, as part of efforts to strengthen the party’s grassroots structure ahead of the 2027 general elections.

This was contained in a statement issued by the Governor’s spokesman, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, on Wednesday.

The governor announced the support during the official inauguration of the ’Yan Akwati association, describing the polling unit structure as the foundation of the APC’s electoral strength.

Governor Yusuf said empowering grassroots supporters would enhance the party’s mobilisation efforts and guarantee victory for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s second-term bid, as well as other APC candidates in future elections.

He noted that the re-election of President Tinubu would ensure the continuity of ongoing economic reforms and development initiatives across the country.

According to the governor, the donation of plots of land and the ₦100 million grant is aimed at motivating members of the association and enabling them to effectively coordinate party activities at the polling unit level.

Earlier, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Political Matters, Mustapha Hamza Buhari Bakwana, described the intervention as the first phase of a broader strategy to consolidate APC’s grassroots support ahead of the 2027 elections.

He expressed confidence that the ’Yan Akwati network possesses the capacity to mobilise over one million votes for President Tinubu in Kano State.

The event attracted party leaders, political stakeholders and representatives of the association drawn from the 44 Local Government Areas of the state.
