Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Dr. Muttaqha Rabe Darma

The Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Muttaqha Rabe Darma, has said Katsina State voters are rooting for President Bola Tinubu in 2027, adding that their votes are non-negotiable.

He stated this on Sunday during the inauguration of Arewa for Asiwaju Group, known as A4A in Katsina.

The minister, during the inauguration of the Katsina State coordination committee of the group, said it was established to mobilise support for Tinubu’s administration and communicate its achievements and interventions to people across Northern Nigeria.

According to him, “This initiative was conceived by prominent Nigerians, including the National Security Adviser, former governors, ministers and former government officials.

“This group has the responsibility of coordinating and documenting the Federal Government’s projects and interventions across Northern Nigeria.

“The major aim of Arewa for Aswaju is that there is a government office called the Office for the Coordination of Northern Projects of this government.

“So that office has the specific task of putting together what this government did to Northern Nigeria. Now that office also felt it wise that it’s not only to coordinate the activities of the government in Northern Nigeria, but to also pull out an organisation that will go to all parts of Northern Nigeria and mention to the people of Northern Nigeria what this government did to Northern Nigeria, and our votes only meant for him.”

Darma said the group would take its activities to different parts of the region to explain what he described as the achievements of the Tinubu administration.

He stressed that the primary purpose of the Katsina meeting was to formally inaugurate the state coordination committee, comprising selected personalities from the state.

On the 2027 elections, Darma said members of the group remained committed to supporting Tinubu, adding that “Our votes for Tinubu in 2027 are non-negotiable.”
