Members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) across Kaduna State on Saturday unanimously endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the party’s presidential candidate ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The endorsement exercise was conducted across the 255 wards in the 23 local government areas of the state, with large numbers of party members and stakeholders participating in the process.
Officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and designated party officials supervised the exercise to ensure compliance with electoral guidelines and procedures.
Party supporters from the Southern Kaduna, Central and Northern Senatorial Districts turned out in large numbers to reaffirm their confidence in President Tinubu’s leadership and endorse him for a second four-year term.
Kaduna State Governor, Senator Uba Sani, who monitored the exercise in parts of the state, commended party leaders, stakeholders and members for the peaceful and orderly conduct of the process.
He described the exercise as a strong demonstration of unity, loyalty and confidence in the leadership of the APC and President Tinubu.
“Today’s overwhelming affirmation across the 255 wards in Kaduna State is a clear reflection of the confidence our party members and the people have in the leadership of President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The unity, discipline and massive turnout witnessed during this exercise demonstrate the APC’s strength and readiness ahead of the 2027 general elections,” the governor said.
Governor Sani added that the party remained committed to building on the achievements of the current administration and sustaining strong leadership for Nigeria’s growth and stability.
He also urged party members to remain focused, united and committed to strengthening the party’s structures and mobilisation efforts ahead of the 2027 elections.
The exercise was concluded peacefully, with enthusiastic participation by party members, reflecting growing internal cohesion and renewed commitment to the APC’s leadership at the national level.
Meanwhile, results from the exercise are being compiled across all voting areas in the state. Designated local government collation officers are expected to transmit the returns to the Kaduna State Coordinator and Chief Collation Officer, Governor Uba Sani.
The final consolidated result is expected to be formally presented by the governor to the APC Presidential Primary Committee in Abuja during the scheduled announcement on Sunday, May 24, 2026.
