Why We Are Standing Firm For Tinubu In 2027 – Kaduna Commissioner, Sadiq Mamman Lagos

Kaduna State Commissioner for Local Government Affairs, Hon. Sadiq Mamman Lagos, has explained why he and his political camp remain resolute in their unwavering support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's second term bid in 2027.

Speaking in a video interview shared by Mijinyawa TV, the veteran politician said their decision is anchored on party loyalty, continuity of governance and the alignment between the Kaduna State Government under Governor Uba Sani and the Federal Government.

Mamman Lagos, a legendary Kaduna politician, insisted that their support for Tinubu in 2027 is total and non-negotiable.

He recalled the political history that brought former President Muhammadu Buhari to power, noting that Buhari contested for the presidency four times without success until Tinubu and his South-West political allies came to his aid.

According to him, he alongside Nasir El-Rufai, Shehu ABG, Haruna Sa'id and the late General Ahmed, owner of Pyramid Hotel, waited for over four hours at Kaduna Airport to receive Tinubu and his team, which included all South-West governors at the time and Lai Mohammed.

"They all converged at the late Muhammadu Buhari's house and reached a gentleman's agreement that the Yoruba people from the South-West would support Buhari to become President," he said.

Lagos added that Tinubu later took Buhari to Lagos, where he stayed for three months for rebranding and was given a private jet for his presidential campaign.
