Ahead of the 2027 general elections, a group under the aegis of Tinubu/Barau/Atah Movement on Thursday in Kano organised a special prayer session for the success of President Bola Tinubu and Senator Barau Jibrin.

The prayer session, attended by Ulamas and supporters of the All Progressives Congress from the 44 local government areas of the state, was held at Gidan Baballiya Kurna in Fagge Local Government Area.

During the session, the clerics offered special prayers for Tinubu’s second-term bid as well as Barau’s governorship ambition in 2027, he also prayed for continued peace, economic growth, development, and political stability in the country.

Seyi Olorunshaya one of the organisers of the session speaking to newsmen, said it was conducted to support Tinubu’s re-election and Senator Barau Jibrin’s bid to become governor of Kano State.

“President Tinubu has done wonderfully well in just two years in office, look at the road projects, the food prices that keep crashing, employment opportunities and above all, his efforts on security,” Olorunshaya said.

“In the last few years, Nigerians who were earlier crying on a daily basis on insecurities, high prices of goods, and other commodities are now beginning to see real changes with everything taking good shape for the better.

“We have what it takes to present our President for the second term, he is a man of his word, he has kept faith in his promises to the people as they are being gradually fulfilled. Nigerians will see wonders when he is re-elected for the second term,” he said.

On why Jibrin was being supported for Kano governorship, Olorunshaya explained that he is “the only strongest person who can wrestle power from NNPP in the state.”

Leader of the Ulamas, Saminu Khalid Abdullahi, said: “Tinubu/Barau/Atah (TBA) Movement is a new support group established with the objective of mobilizing grassroots support for President Tinubu, the Deputy Senate President, Senator Barau Jibrin, and the Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development, Abdullahi Yusuf Atah.”

He added that the vision of the movement was to rally citizens behind their governance efforts and to strengthen goodwill ahead of the 2027 elections.

After the prayer, a ram was slaughtered as a sacrifice for the victory of both Tinubu and Barau.
