Tinubu to Launch 2027 Campaign in Kaduna on October 24

Senator Abdulaziz Yari, the Director General of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, announced that President Bola Tinubu will begin his 2027 re-election campaign in Kaduna on October 24. Yari stated that Tinubu has support in over 10 states in both the northern and southern regions of Nigeria.

This announcement followed a meeting with Tinubu at the State House in Abuja, where Yari discussed campaign preparations and a timetable for state visits. Yari expressed confidence in Tinubu's national support base compared to his main opponents, Atiku Abubakar of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and Peter Obi of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).

He defended the Tinubu administration's economic record, asserting that the government has made progress since taking office over three years ago. Meanwhile, Atiku Abubakar inaugurated the ADC Presidential Campaign Council in Abuja, urging members to mobilize support and present the party as a credible alternative for the upcoming elections.
