The leadership of Arewa for Asiwaju, A4A, has urged the Muslim community in Jos, Plateau State, to support President Bola Tinubu’s bid for a second term in office.
The Director-General of the movement, Mohammed Badaru Abubakar, made the appeal during a meeting with selected community leaders from Jos North, where he expressed appreciation for their support for the All Progressives Congress, APC, over the years.
Mr Badaru recalled the support the community gave to President Tinubu during the 2023 presidential election and urged the leaders to ensure a similar outcome in the next election.
He said that despite the challenges facing the country, the Tinubu administration was making efforts to address longstanding socio-economic problems and put Nigeria on the path of development.
Also speaking, a former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Ahmed Wase, thanked the Jos North community for its support for the APC.
Mr Wase urged the leaders to put collective interest above personal considerations when making decisions ahead of the forthcoming election.
The meeting was attended by representatives of the Jos Central Mosque, Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI), Jos Development Association, Jama’atu Izalatul Bid’ah and Jos Renaissance Group, among others.
In their remarks, the leader of the Jos Hausa/Fulani community, Alhaji Sani Mudi, and the Chief Imam of Jos, Sheikh Ghazali Ismail Adam, acknowledged the longstanding relationship between the community and the APC since the party’s formation.
They also commended what they described as improvements in peace and dialogue in the state, attributing the development to the efforts of President Tinubu and Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang in promoting inclusivity and social harmony.
