Nigeria: 2027 - Kaduna APC Vows Massive Turnout As Tinubu's Presidential Campaign Begins

What the report says

Kaduna State’s chapter of Nigeria’s ruling All Progressives Congress says it is preparing to host President Bola Tinubu and senior party figures as the APC begins its presidential campaign in the state on 24 October 2026. The remarks were made in Kaduna on Monday by the party’s state publicity secretary, Muhammad Sani, according to Premium Times, which was distributed by AllAfrica.

Sani said Kaduna would play a central role in the party’s effort to secure Tinubu’s re-election in 2027. He said the APC plans a large turnout and expects to mobilize supporters across the state under Governor Uba Sani’s leadership. The party also presented the Kaduna launch as an important signal for its broader campaign, saying the state is ready to receive party members and other visitors.

The APC official said the party aims to show unity and support for Tinubu, and he projected a vote target of two million for the president in Kaduna in the 2027 election. The statement reflects the party’s own political strategy and confidence, rather than an election outcome. Kaduna is a politically important state in northern Nigeria, and the campaign launch there suggests the APC wants to use the venue to build momentum ahead of the next general election.
