Tinubu Launches APC Campaign, Inaugurates Key Road Project

On October 24, 2026, President Bola Tinubu, accompanied by Vice President Kashim Shettima, launched the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign for the 2027 general elections in Kaduna. The event marked a significant political moment, with numerous governors, ministers, and lawmakers present.

During the campaign flag-off, President Tinubu inaugurated the completed 81-kilometre section of the Abuja–Kaduna–Zaria–Kano Dual Carriageway, highlighting the administration's commitment to enhancing Nigeria's transport infrastructure. This corridor is vital for farmers, manufacturers, and traders in Northern Nigeria, facilitating the movement of goods and services.

The campaign emphasized the connection between economic reforms and infrastructure development, showcasing the Tinubu administration's strategy for fostering a productive economy. Since assuming office in May 2023, President Tinubu has faced economic challenges, including fiscal pressures and infrastructure deficits, and the campaign aims to consolidate the APC's democratic gains.
