Nigeria APC intensifies 2027 election mobilisation across regions
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has launched a series of mobilisation initiatives ahead of the 2027 general elections. In the North‑West, party officials announced a tour of the seven states to strengthen grassroots structures and cited the region’s role in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s 2023 victory. The party also rescheduled its outstanding ward rerun elections to 1 August 2026 to allow better preparation. A national drive led by the All Support Groups Network and its coordinator Alh. Mukhtar Bala targets farmers, tricycle owners and other rural groups, aiming to secure about 27 million votes. In Osun State, APC National Secretary Ajibola Basiru pledged community‑driven infrastructure, jobs and education improvements, noting that federal allocations to states have risen from ₦586 billion in April 2023 to over ₦2.7 trillion by June 2026. Party leaders in Anambra and Kwara have also called for internal reconciliation and celebrated prominent community figures, underscoring the party’s focus on unity and voter outreach as the election approaches.
