“President Tinubu is our choice for 2027. We remain solidly behind him and will continue to support his administration to succeed,” the Emir said.
The Emir of Daura, His Royal Highness Alhaji Umar Farouk Umar, has declared President Bola Tinubu as the preferred candidate of the Daura Emirate for the 2027 presidential election.
The Emir made the endorsement on Saturday while receiving Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, who led a high-powered delegation on a condolence visit to the family of late former President Muhammadu Buhari in Daura, Katsina State.
The First Lady, accompanied by wives of National Assembly leaders, governors, ministers, and service chiefs, visited the graveside of the late president and prayed with his widow, Hajia Aisha Buhari.
At the Emir’s palace, Alhaji Umar praised Tinubu’s leadership, saying, “President Tinubu is our choice for 2027. We remain solidly behind him and will continue to support his administration to succeed.”
Senator Tinubu described Buhari as “an accomplished patriot” and commended his legacy of discipline and national service.
