The All Progressives Congress (APC) has confirmed that the presidential campaign for re-election of President Bola Tinubu will officially begin in Kaduna on October 24, 2027. The announcement was made by Senator Abdulaziz Yari, the Director General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, following a meeting with Tinubu. The campaign is set to kick off in Kaduna, marking the first major event in the political calendar for the ruling party.
The APC stated that the campaign will be formally inaugurated on October 14, with the actual launch in Kaduna scheduled for the 24th. Yari emphasized that the campaign is focused on strengthening the party's position and engaging with voters across the country. He also mentioned that the campaign will highlight Tinubu's achievements and vision for Nigeria's future.
The announcement comes amid ongoing political tensions within the APC, with some members accusing the party of internal divisions. However, Yari stressed that the campaign is a unified effort to secure Tinubu's re-election. The APC has also faced criticism from rival parties, including the African Democratic Congress (ADC), which has accused the party of self-destruction through internal conflicts.
The campaign is expected to involve a series of rallies and public engagements across key states. Tinubu's re-election bid is seen as a critical moment for the APC, as it seeks to consolidate its power and address ongoing challenges facing the country. The timing of the campaign aligns with the lead-up to the next presidential election, which is anticipated to be a highly contested race.
