Makarfi Urges PDP to Boost Grassroots Campaigns for 2027

Former Governor of Kaduna State, Senator Ahmed Makarfi, called on Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidates to intensify grassroots mobilization and engage directly with voters ahead of the 2027 general election. Speaking during the inauguration of the PDP campaign council and the commissioning of its campaign office in Kaduna, Makarfi stressed that electoral success relies on building relationships with communities and understanding their concerns.

He emphasized compliance with electoral laws, stating that candidates must accept and work within established rules. PDP governorship candidate, Hon. Shehu Usman Bawa, known as ABG, announced a bottom-up governance approach if elected in February 2027, detailing outreach efforts through media and direct engagements.

PDP Chairman in Kaduna State, Hon. Edward Masha, criticized the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led government for failing to address key issues such as insecurity and unemployment, asserting that residents desire change and expressing confidence in the PDP's chances in the upcoming election.
