All Progressives Congress (APC) members in Kaduna state have unanimously affirmed President Bola Tinubu as the party's presidential candidate for the 2027 elections.
This endorsement serves as a strategic move to demonstrate party unity and rally support for the president's re-election bid as the general elections approach.
The affirmation exercise took place across all 255 [1] political wards located within the 23 [2] local government areas of Kaduna state. By coordinating the endorsement at the ward level, the party aims to ensure a grassroots foundation for the upcoming campaign cycle.
The process was designed to synchronize party loyalty and ensure that the local structures are aligned with the national leadership. This wide-scale affirmation indicates a concerted effort by the Kaduna APC to signal a consolidated front against potential challengers within or outside the party.
Party organizers said the goal was to solidify the base and ensure the president has the full backing of the state's political machinery. The unanimous nature of the affirmation across the 23 [2] local government areas is intended to project an image of stability and cohesion.
This movement comes as the APC begins to organize its internal structures for the next electoral cycle. By securing the affirmation of 255 [1] wards, the party establishes a clear mandate for Tinubu's candidacy in one of Nigeria's key northern states.
“All Progressives Congress members in Kaduna state have unanimously affirmed President Bola Tinubu as the party's presidential candidate.”
This grassroots affirmation exercise is a calculated effort by the APC to prevent internal fractures and preempt primary challenges. By securing endorsements across every ward and local government area in Kaduna, the party is attempting to create a 'fait accompli' that pressures other regional leaders to align with President Tinubu's re-election bid early in the cycle.
