2027: Kaduna ‌⁠⁠‌‍⁠⁠‍‍‌⁠‌‍⁠‌‌‌APC targets 1.2m votes for Tinubu, Uba Sani

The Tinubu/Uba Sani Mobilisation Network has set a target of securing more than 1.2 million women votes for President Bola Tinubu and Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani’s re-election in 2027.

The convener of the Network, Dr Abdulmuminu Zaria, made this known at a women’s engagement programme tagged “Operation Know Your Polling Unit and Deliver Your Polling Unit,” in Kaduna on Sunday, November 15, 2026.

Aminu said the initiative was designed to strengthen grassroots mobilisation, deepen political awareness, and encourage women to play active roles in the electoral process.

Aminu described women as a critical voting bloc, saying their influence within families and communities could significantly shape electoral outcomes.

“We believe that when we get women, we are getting our votes. That is why we say no woman, no vote,” he said.

Aminu added that the network has engaged various stakeholders, including youths, men and women, through town-hall meetings, drug abuse campaigns and other community-based activities.

He said the women’s engagement was designed to consolidate the network’s mobilisation efforts and prepare supporters ahead of the 2027 general election.

The deputy governor of Kaduna State, Dr Hadiza Balarabe, commended the organisers for recognising the strategic importance of women in democratic governance.

Balarabe, who was represented by the Kaduna State Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Hajiya Salisu, said women’s participation should go beyond voter registration and election-day activities.

The deputy governor added that women’s role should also include political leadership, decision-making and community mobilisation.

Balarabe said women constituted a significant proportion of registered voters and possessed considerable influence in shaping electoral outcomes.

Balarabe urged the women selected as political ambassadors across the state’s 23 Local Government Areas and 255 political wards to discharge their responsibilities with integrity, discipline and commitment.

The deputy governor also called for peaceful political engagement, urging women to promote democratic values and discourage actions capable of threatening the peace of their communities.
