Mahmood became known for his role in the presidential campaign of Atiku Abubakar, for whom he mobilized five million youths across 36 states. His recent move from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) led to an exclusive interview in which he lauded the long-term initiatives of President Bola Tinubu and backed his administration to succeed.

In an exclusive interview with Legit.ng journalist, Segun Adeyemi, Mahmood expressed his newfound political interests at the grassroots level and cited the achievements of Governor Umar Namadi in just 100 days as inspiring. Mahmood revealed that his decision to leave the PDP was not due to any rift or misunderstanding but rather his choice to explore the grassroots level close to his people. This decision was also fueled by his admiration for Governor Umar Namadi’s leadership style and principles.

Before his move to the APC, Mahmood played a significant role in the campaign of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar by mobilizing five million Nigerian youths across the 36 states. He emphasized that his shift to the APC and support for President Tinubu’s administration is motivated by the intentional and long-term policies of President Tinubu.

Mahmood expressed optimism in Tinubu’s administration and commended Tinubu for removing the subsidy, which was a bold step that previous leaders did not have the courage to take. He acknowledged that the benefits of these policies would not be immediate, but looking further down the line, Nigerians should expect positive outcomes.

The Independent Media and Policy Initiative (IMPI) rebuked Atiku, claiming that his critique of Tinubu’s policies lacked constructive value.
