Kaduna APC Urges Atiku Abubakar to Withdraw from Race

The Kaduna State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has advised Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), to withdraw from his 2027 presidential ambition and support President Bola Tinubu. During a press briefing on Monday, APC Publicity Secretary Mohammed Sani Haruna stated that Atiku could no longer rely on Northern votes, as the region is fully backing Tinubu's presidency.

Haruna called for Atiku to step down, asserting that the odds are against him. He also urged Atiku to reciprocate Tinubu's past political support for his ambitions.

Furthermore, Haruna dismissed claims that the supporters at Tinubu's campaign flag-off in Kaduna were paid or that crowd footage was artificially generated, asserting that many attendees arrived hours early and spent the night at the venue, reflecting genuine support for Tinubu ahead of the 2027 election.
