President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has arrived in Dutse, the Jigawa State capital, for the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign rally at the Dutse Township Stadium, after leaving Abuja earlier on Tuesday.
His Special Assistant on Social Media, Olusegun Dada, disclosed that on arrival, the President commissioned mechanised farming equipment bought by the Jigawa State Government under Governor Umar Namadi.
He also commissioned the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Multipurpose Skills Acquisition Centre in Dutse.
The Jigawa rally is the latest stop on the APC’s campaign calendar for the 2027 general elections.
The campaign was flagged off in Kaduna on October 24, 2026, with the party planning rallies across the 36 States and the Federal Capital Territory.
The APC has said the President will personally attend rallies in 12 states, citing the need to balance campaigning with governance, while party leaders represent him elsewhere.
After Kaduna, the President attended the Port Harcourt rally in Rivers State on November 7. Upcoming rallies on his itinerary include Jos on November 14, Ibadan on November 21, Maiduguri on November 25, Enugu on November 28 and Bauchi on November 29, followed by Sokoto, Asaba, Kano, Yola and a closing rally in Lagos.
Jigawa was not on the President’s original list of personal appearances. State officials have said he chose to visit because of his confidence in the state’s leadership and people.
The Jigawa APC has set a target of two million votes for the President in the 2027 election, saying it wants to double the 794,738 votes recorded for former President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019.
