Tinubu's Visit Sparks Enhanced Security in Kaduna

Security measures have been intensified across Kaduna metropolis in anticipation of President Bola Tinubu's visit on Saturday for the flag-off of the All Progressives Congress (APC) 2027 presidential campaign. Security personnel have been deployed to key locations, and campaign posters featuring Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, and Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani have been installed along major roads leading to the Kaduna Township Stadium, the rally's venue.

The Kaduna State Traffic Law Enforcement Authority (KASTLEA) and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) are tasked with safeguarding the campaign materials, particularly at night to prevent vandalism. Police officers and plain-clothes operatives are stationed at major roads and roundabouts, with patrol vehicles observed around the stadium.

The rally is expected to draw governors from the seven North-West states and numerous party supporters and political stakeholders. Preparations at the stadium include repainting and decorating the 8,000-capacity facility with APC flags, while access to the premises has been restricted ahead of the event.
