2027: Katung Woos Hausa Christians For APC In Kaduna

The Senator representing Kaduna South Senatorial District, Sunday Marshall Katung, has urged Hausa Christians in Northern Kaduna to mobilise support for President Bola Tinubu, Governor Uba Sani and other All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Katung made the call at a town hall meeting with leaders of the Hausa Christian Political Youth Forum and delegates from Kaduna North Senatorial District in Zaria.

He urged the youths to remain united, peaceful and politically active, saying their numerical strength could contribute to the party’s electoral success in 2027.

Katung said the administrations of President Tinubu and Governor Uba Sani had demonstrated commitment to inclusiveness, fairness and justice, adding that no community should be left behind.

He pledged to continue working with other political leaders to attract development projects, appointments and opportunities to their communities.

Also speaking, Hon. Daniel Amos, who represented the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, urged the stakeholders to sustain their support for the APC.

Amos also announced a financial contribution from the Speaker to support the forum’s activities across the eight local government areas of Kaduna North Senatorial District.

Representing Governor Uba Sani, Comrade Jerry Adams commended Katung and the stakeholders for their support for the party.

Adams highlighted what he described as interventions by the Tinubu and Uba Sani administrations, including federal institutions, skills acquisition centres across the three senatorial districts, a military cantonment, free compressed natural gas (CNG) buses and the recruitment and training of more than 1,000 forest guards.

He also cited federal appointments secured by Kaduna indigenes and called for continued support for the APC ahead of the 2027 elections.

In his remarks, the APC senatorial candidate for Kaduna North, Dr Mukhtar Ramalan Yero, who spoke on behalf of other APC candidates in the zone, commended the organisers and Katung for bringing the stakeholders together.

Yero acknowledged the contributions of the late Senator Isaiah Balat, Garba Ali Madaki and the late former Governor Patrick Ibrahim Yakowa to promoting unity among Christian communities in Southern and Northern Kaduna.

The meeting was attended by former Kaduna State Governor and APC senatorial candidate for Kaduna North, Dr Mukhtar Ramalan Yero; the APC Deputy Governorship Candidate in Kaduna State, Comrade Jerry Adams; and Hon. Daniel Amos, who represented the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, among other party stakeholders.
