2027: Tinubu, Kefas Campaign Council Plans Ward-To-Ward Mobilisation In Taraba

The campaign council for the re-election of President Bola Tinubu and Taraba State Governor Agbu Kefas has announced plans to begin ward-to-ward mobilisation across the state ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The council disclosed this after its first stakeholders’ meeting since its inauguration, held behind closed doors at the Taraba State Internal Revenue Service conference hall in Jalingo.

The meeting, which lasted about two hours, was attended by members of the National Assembly, state lawmakers, All Progressives Congress (APC) leaders, political stakeholders and government appointees, including representatives of federal office holders.

The Director-General of the campaign council, Hon. Danladi Baido, presided over the meeting alongside the state APC Chairman, Alhaji Abubakar Bawa.

Briefing journalists after the meeting, the council’s Publicity Secretary, Emmanuel Bello, said the gathering was aimed at strengthening party unity, harmonising campaign strategies and preparing members for the commencement of political activities.

Bello said the council would announce dates for its campaign flag-off and other engagements soon, adding that stakeholders had expressed their readiness to work together to secure victory for Tinubu, Kefas and other APC candidates in the 2027 elections.

He described the meeting as a demonstration of the party’s unity and preparedness, stressing that the council would not take the electorate for granted.

According to him, the campaign would involve direct engagement with voters to showcase the achievements of the administration and seek support for Kefas’ second-term ambition.

He added that the meeting attracted two of the state’s three senators, members of the House of Representatives, state lawmakers and other political stakeholders, while those unable to attend were represented by senior officials.

Also speaking, the APC Publicity Secretary in Taraba State, Aaron Artimas, disclosed that December 19 had been scheduled for Tinubu’s campaign flag-off in the state.

Artimas said there were indications that the President might attend the event personally.

He added that the state chapter of the party would also organise its own campaign flag-off, although a date had yet to be announced.

According to him, stakeholders at the meeting had agreed to embark on ward-to-ward sensitisation across the state’s three senatorial zones to mobilise voters ahead of the elections.

Artimas said the party was determined to engage residents directly rather than rely solely on its perceived political strength in the state.

He explained that the grassroots mobilisation would also provide an opportunity for residents to communicate their expectations and priorities to the government ahead of another tenure.

The APC spokesman further expressed confidence in Taraba’s voter registration strength, describing the state as one with a significant number of registered voters, a factor he said had attracted the President’s attention.
