The Tom Garba Support Group, Lere West Constituency, is set to hold a formal declaration and endorsement event for Tom Garba on Sunday, August 30, 2026, at Lea Garun Kurama in Lere Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
The event, according to the invitation circulated by the group, is expected to bring together members of the support group, well-wishers and political stakeholders from across the constituency.
Garba, a former State Assembly aspirant, has maintained a visible presence among grassroots political supporters in Lere West, with the group describing his support network as a broad-based movement with significant local following.
The organisers say the gathering will provide an opportunity for supporters to publicly identify with Garba and formally declare their support and endorsement.
The event is also expected to attract attention because of the political figures listed on the invitation, including President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani, Engineer Ahmed Mair, Hon. Mubarak Ibrahim, Commissioner Abubakar Buba, Professor Matoh D. Dogara and APC Chairman for Lere, Hon. Jonathan Shekarau.
While the presence of the personalities listed on the invitation would depend on their individual schedules and confirmation, their inclusion underscores the political significance the organisers attach to the occasion.
The growing visibility of Garba’s support group could become an important factor in local political mobilisation, particularly if the group succeeds in translating its existing grassroots network into organised political participation.
Supporters describe Garba as having cultivated an organic following in the area over time, built around personal relationships and grassroots engagement rather than solely through formal political structures. The actual size and electoral strength of the support network, however, would ultimately be determined by measurable participation and voting outcomes.
The August 30 gathering is therefore expected to offer an early indication of the organisational strength of the Tom Garba Support Group and its role in the evolving political dynamics of Lere West Constituency.
The programme is scheduled to begin at 12:00 noon, with members of the support group and well-wishers invited to attend.
