2027: APC North-West To Tour 7 States For Tinubu

The All Progressives Congress (APC) North-West Zone has said it will embark on a strategic tour of the seven states in the region as part of efforts to mobilise support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and position the party for victory in the 2027 general elections.

The party said the decision was reached at a meeting of its zonal leadership held in Kaduna, where members deliberated on strategies to retain the APC’s dominance across the North-West and deliver what it described as the highest number of votes for President Tinubu in 2027.

The meeting took place at the party’s zonal headquarters in Kaduna and was chaired by the APC North-West Zonal Secretary, Hon. Isah Sadiq Achida, in the absence of the National Vice Chairman for the zone, Hon. Garba Mohammed Datti, who was said to be away on an official assignment.

According to a statement issued by the APC North-West Zonal Publicity Secretary, Malam Musa Mailafiya Mada, the meeting focused on preparations for the 2027 general elections and reviewed the political landscape across the region.

The party noted that the North-West remains a strategic political bloc for the APC, having delivered substantial votes to President Tinubu in the 2023 presidential election, and expressed confidence that it would surpass that performance in 2027.

It also resolved to embark on a tour of the seven states in the zone to engage stakeholders and deliberate on practical measures needed to strengthen the party’s structures and achieve its electoral objectives.

The APC described the North-West’s political configuration as historic, noting that it is the first time since the creation of states in Nigeria that all seven states in the geopolitical zone are under the control of a single political party.

The zonal leadership expressed profound appreciation to Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani for donating a utility vehicle to the party, describing the gesture as a demonstration of his commitment to strengthening the APC’s operations in the region.

It further acknowledged the unwavering support of all APC governors in the North-West, saying their contributions have remained the lifeline of the party’s zonal headquarters and have enabled it to function effectively.

The party also commended prominent APC leaders from the North-West, including Deputy Senate President Barau I. Jibrin, Speaker of the House of Representatives Tajudeen Abbas, ministers, and other political office holders appointed by President Tinubu, for their continued support for both the administration and the party.

The statement urged them to sustain the momentum and provide greater support to the APC as preparations for the 2027 general elections gather pace.
