APC Launches 2027 Campaign in Kaduna with Tinubu

The All-Progressives Congress (APC) launched its presidential re-election campaign in Kaduna on 24 October 2026. The event was attended by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Vice-President Kashim Shettima, APC governors, party officials, and supporters nationwide.

The choice of Kaduna was strategic, reflecting its importance in the North-West for the party's electoral strategy. The rally aimed to kickstart nationwide mobilization for the 2027 elections.

Supporters viewed the turnout and participation of prominent leaders as a sign of strength, while critics questioned the authenticity of the enthusiasm displayed. The significance of the rally must be evaluated against grassroots organization, public sentiment, government performance, opposition strength, and the ability to convert engagement into votes.

The APC's emerging door-to-door campaign approach could enhance its electoral prospects if effectively implemented. The event's success will be measured not just by attendance but by its potential to foster a more responsive and inclusive campaign in Kaduna and beyond.
