Former Director-General of the Tinubu Support Groups and House of Representatives member representing Kiru/Bebeji Federal Constituency of Kano State, Hon. Abdulmumin Jibrin, has announced his return to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and declared his support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.

Jibrin made the declaration on Sunday in his hometown, Kofa, Kano State, during a gathering attended by thousands of his supporters and over 2,000 Islamic clerics (Ulamas) who offered prayers for his political journey and the progress of Nigeria.

Speaking at the event, Jibrin said the decision marked his formal exit from the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) and the Kwankwasiyya Movement led by former Kano State Governor, Engr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.

“In a show of solidarity, I was warmly received by thousands of my constituents in my hometown of Kofa, Bebeji, Kano. The gathering resolved to leave the NNPP/Kwankwasiyya, join the APC, and endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for a second term in office,” he stated.

The lawmaker added that the clerics had earlier offered special prayers for President Tinubu and for the continued peace, progress, and development of Kiru/Bebeji Constituency, Kano State, and Nigeria at large.

Jibrin, who was a key political ally of President Tinubu during the 2023 elections before defecting to the NNPP, said his return to the ruling party was driven by his commitment to support the President’s developmental agenda and the unity of the country.
