More than 500 Islamic scholars, preachers, and clerics from across Nigeria have endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a second term, following a closed-door meeting in Jigawa State that involved six northern APC governors and Deputy Senate President Jibrin Barau. The endorsement signals growing political discussions around the President's 2027 re-election bid and the mobilization of influential stakeholders ahead of the election. Analysts view this as a strategic move by northern political leaders to build alliances and secure political capital.
