Jigawa State Governor Malam Umar Namadi has created political mobilisation committees throughout the state to bolster the All Progressives Congress (APC) and reconnect with grassroots supporters ahead of the 2027 general elections. The committees operate at the state, local government and ward levels and were announced after a high‑level meeting at Government House in Dutse on Sunday, which brought together senior government officials, political appointees and elected representatives.
Governor Namadi said the initiative is intended to keep the party active, united and responsive to the needs of its members and supporters. He stressed that the committees will meet with party members, listen to their concerns and encourage greater participation in party activities. They will also reach out to aggrieved or inactive members in an effort to reintegrate them into the party fold. “We know the party is intact, but we need to go back to the people again, talk to them and explain what the government is doing so that people will continue to have confidence in the government,” he said.
The governor added that the committees will play a key role in building support for the 2027 elections through reconciliation, consultation and grassroots mobilisation. Under the new arrangement, Governor Namadi will chair the state committee, with the state party chairman serving as co‑chairman. Similar structures have been established for all 27 local government areas and 222 wards in the state.
The committees are expected to focus on strengthening party structures, increasing voter and membership registration, identifying challenges and maintaining strong relationships among members and stakeholders. The move is seen as part of broader efforts to consolidate the ruling party’s position in Jigawa State and ensure effective communication between the government and the electorate in the lead‑up to the next general elections.
