Tinubu launches 2027 re-election campaign in Kaduna

Bola Tinubu APC campaign 2027 Nigerian election Kaduna rally economic reforms

President Bola Tinubu officially launched his All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign for a second term during a major rally in Kaduna on October 24, 2026. Addressing a large crowd at the Ranchers Bees Stadium, Tinubu defended his administration’s economic reforms, including the removal of fuel subsidies, and promised a mandate for “prosperity, continuity, and progress.” He attributed Nigeria’s current hunger and poverty to the policies of previous administrations, asserting that his government is working to eradicate these issues.

Vice President Kashim Shettima joined the President, emphasizing national unity and the necessity of sustaining current reforms for economic stability. The event also served as a platform for infrastructure updates, with Minister of Works David Umahi noting that the federal government has completed over 348 kilometres of roads in the North-West region. He specifically highlighted the Abuja–Kaduna–Zaria–Kano Expressway project, stating that the first 118-kilometre section was completed in 13 months.

The rally featured significant political endorsements, including the presentation of the APC governorship flag to Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf for the 2027 elections. While the event saw high energy from supporters, some attendees reportedly chanted “Bamayi!” (we won’t support you) as the presidential convoy arrived, reflecting the complex political atmosphere in the North-West ahead of the January 16, 2027, election.
