He made the announcement on Sunday, renouncing his membership in the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and the Kwankwasiyya Movement led by the former Kano State Governor, Dr Rabiu Kwankwaso.
Jibrin was warmly received by thousands of his constituents in his hometown of Kofa, Bebeji Local Government Area where he declared his support for Tinubu.
Over 2,000 Islamic clerics (Ulamas) offered special prayers for the president, for peace and development in Kano Srate as well as Nigeria.
