A former Senior Special Assistant to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Citizenship and Leadership, Nasir Ja’oji, has declared his intention to contest the Tarauni Federal Constituency seat in the House of Representatives in 2027.
Mr Ja’oji’s declaration was disclosed in a statement issued by his media aide, Abba Anwar, and made available on Sunday.
According to the statement, Mr Ja’oji made the announcement on Friday while addressing supporters in Kano, following his recent resignation from his role as presidential aide.
“This ambition is not borne out of mere ambition, but from a deep sense of responsibility, commitment and consistent engagement with the people,” he said.
Party loyalty and experience
Mr Ja’oji emphasised his long-standing involvement with the All Progressives Congress, noting his contributions to the party’s growth and electoral successes.
“Over the past few years, I have remained steadfast in my loyalty and contributions to the growth, unity and electoral successes of our party,” he stated.
He added that his experience in the presidency helped shape his understanding of governance and leadership.
“In that capacity, I came up with initiatives aimed at promoting civic responsibility, youth engagement, and leadership development across the country,” Mr Ja’oji said.
Development agenda
The statement noted that Mr Ja’oji has been involved in youth empowerment and women’s inclusion programmes, positioning these efforts as part of his broader political agenda.
He pledged to deliver more development and representation to the Tarauni Federal Constituency if elected.
Mr Ja’oji’s declaration adds to growing political activity ahead of the 2027 general elections, particularly within the APC, as aspirants begin early mobilisation across constituencies.
