All Progressives Congress (APC) in Borno State has pledged over three million votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima in the 2027 presidential election.

The party added that it will work to ensure the delivery of all its candidates in the 2027 general elections beginning from the Gubernatorial candidate , Engr Mustapha Gubio to the State Assembly candidates.

This was disclosed on Monday in Maiduguri by the Deputy National Chairman North of the APC , Hon. Ali Bukar Dalori.

He urged the State’s campaign committees leaders and members to take the party’s mobilisation drive down to polling units, wards and local government areas ahead of the forthcoming elections.

Dalori said Borno, as the home state of the Vice President, would be under national and international attention during the elections, stressing that its performance at the polls would be closely watched.

He urged members not to relax but to work relentlessly towards delivering massive votes for the party, saying the state could target as many as three million votes.

“We should declare operation unit to local government.

We should concentrate on our units. Borno has the Vice President and the world is looking at us to see our performance in the polls for the presidency,” the DNC said.
