2027: Kaduna agog as APC supporters troop out for Tinubu’s campaign flag-off

Some streets in Kaduna, the capital of Kaduna State, have been taken over by All Progressives Congress (APC) supporters who trooped out for the formal launch of President Bola Tinubu’s campaign rally ahead of the 2027 general election.

Scores of APC supporters across Nigeria, particularly the North, have been trooping into Kaduna over the week to grace the event expected to be flagged off by Tinubu.

The influx of supporters into Kaduna underscores the significance attached to the rally by party members, particularly in the North-West, where the APC seeks to consolidate its political support.

Speaking on Saturday, October 24, 2026, many APC supporters said they were in high spirits for the event.

“We arrived from Kano yesterday evening and have been celebrating all night for this event.

“The weather is hot, but we are ready to bear the heat for this historic flag-off by Mr President.

“We want to witness history and tell the story and message of Mr President to those who cannot make it,” said a party supporter who identified himself as Mubarak from Kano State.

A female supporter, Mary Iliya from Southern Kaduna, said she has been looking forward to the event to hear from Tinubu and other party stakeholders.

“We are here live to hear from our president, our governors and party leaders what they have done and will continue to do for us for a better Nigeria,” Iliya said.

Many other supporters who shared their excitement however complained about the venue, Ranchers Bees Stadium which they said was not big enough to contain thousands of supporters who turned out.

“This stadium is too small but we have to bear with the organisers who told us that the bigger one, Ahmadu Bello Stadium is undergoing renovation work,” Musa Mohammed, a supporter from Katsina State, said.

The rally is expected to bring together governors elected on the APC platform, members of the National Assembly, state legislators, party executives, and other political stakeholders.
