The Jama’atu Izalatil Bid’ah Wa Iqamatis-Sunnah (JIBWIS), under the leadership of Sheikh Abdullahi Bala Lau, has expressed support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s bid for re-election in the 2027 presidential election.
This was contained in a statement issued on Monday, September 21, 2026, by the Director of Media to Senator Abdulaziz Yari Abubakar, Almansoor Gusau.
According to the statement, the APC Presidential Campaign Council delegation, led by Senator Abdulaziz Yari Abubakar, met with JIBWIS clerics to seek their support for Tinubu’s re-election bid.
It said Sheikh Bala Lau disclosed the organisation’s position during a meeting with Yari, who is the Director-General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, and members of his delegation.
During the meeting, JIBWIS leaders also called for stronger measures to end insecurity across the country, while presenting other demands concerning the welfare and wellbeing of Nigerians.
Yari, in turn, solicited the prayers and support of the clerics and urged them to promote national unity and engage with the public ahead of the 2027 general elections.
