Many Islamic clerics and All Progressives Congress (APC) supporters from across Kano State on Thursday offered special prayers and animal sacrifices for the political success of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The event, organised under the Tinubu/Barau/Atah (TBA) Movement, was held at Kurna in Kano Municipal and drew participants from the 44 local government areas, including Ulamas, women, and party loyalists.

One of the organisers, Seyi Olorunshaya, said the spiritual exercise was to seek divine favour for Tinubu’s second-term bid and Barau’s governorship ambition.

“President Tinubu has done wonderfully well in just two years. Look at the road projects, the food prices that keep crashing, employment opportunities, and above all his efforts on security,” he said.

Olorunshaya added that Senator Barau remained the strongest candidate to unseat the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP)-led government in Kano, noting that he enjoyed the backing of Minister of State for Housing Abdullahi Yusuf Atah and Senator Sulaiman Abdurahman Kawu Sumaila.

Leader of the clerics at the gathering, Sheikh Saminu Khalid Abdullahi, described the TBA Movement as a grassroots mobilisation platform for Tinubu, Barau, and Atah ahead of 2027.

At the end of the prayers, rams were slaughtered as sacrifices for the political victories of the president and the deputy senate president.
