A Yobe State business tycoon and contractor, Alhaji Liman Dabuwa, popularly known as Damuli, has taken his political mobilisation campaign to over five communities in Machina Local Government Area, calling on residents to support APC candidates in the forthcoming general elections.
Tagged “From Top to Bottom – No Mixture,” the campaign tour saw Alhaji Liman Dabuwa engaging traditional rulers, community leaders and residents, canvassing support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid, Baba Malam Wali’s governorship ambition and other APC candidates.
The businessman urged the people to vote for the APC across all elective positions, emphasising the need for what he described as a united political choice.
The tour ended at the Palace of the Emir of Machina, Alhaji Bashir Albishir Bukar Machinama, who appreciated the initiative and assured him of the Emirate’s support.
Traditional rulers in the communities visited also expressed support for the APC ahead of the elections.
During the tour, the businessman held lengthy discussions with members of the community, during which he pledged to sponsor the education of children in Damai Community.
He also directed the repair of an ambulance belonging to Dolen Machina and the renovation of a mosque, among other interventions which revolve around Health, Education, Water Supply, and Empowerment.
Residents described the visit as the first of its kind in the history of Machina, noting that it was unusual for a businessman to embark on a political campaign in support of a party without expressing any intention of contesting for an elective position.
The tour forms part of ongoing political mobilisation activities in Machina ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In another development, Dabuwa encountered a group of people said to have defected from the NDC during the mobilisation exercise.
