The North-West Zone of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has pledged to maintain its record of delivering the highest bloc votes for the party’s presidential candidate and other candidates in the 2027 general elections.
The commitment was contained in a communiqué issued at the end of the zone’s maiden meeting held at its Zonal Secretariat in Kaduna.
The meeting, which was the first since the APC Zonal Congress of March 25, was chaired by the National Vice Chairman (North-West), Garba Datti Muhammad.
According to the communiqué signed by the Zonal Publicity Secretary, Malam Musa Mailafiya Mada, discussions focused on strategies to consolidate the zone’s position as the leading contributor of votes to presidential candidates since 1999.
The communiqué stated that members resolved to work with key stakeholders across the zone to secure victory for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the seven APC governors in the North-West, as well as the party’s National and State Assembly candidates in 2027.
It added that the Garba Datti-led Zonal Executive adopted a “campaign of facts” as its advocacy model to promote the Renewed Hope Agenda of the Tinubu administration.
The strategy, according to the communiqué, will focus on showcasing achievements in infrastructure, education, healthcare, and security, including projects executed by the North West Development Commission.
The zone also pledged to strengthen internal unity, sustain the prevailing peaceful atmosphere within the party, and proactively address emerging challenges ahead of the elections.
It further expressed readiness to counter what it described as misinformation from opposition parties aimed at undermining the APC’s image.
Attendees at the meeting included newly elected and returning zonal officers such as Zonal Secretary, Isah Sadiq Achida; Zonal Legal Adviser, Bashir Usaini Dutse; and Zonal Organising Secretary, Salisu Uba Tsafe.
Others in attendance were Zonal Youth Leader, Abdulhamid Umar Ahmed; Zonal Women Leader, Hadiza Alhaji; Zonal Leader of Persons Living with Disabilities, Dahiru Gambo Rafin Dadi; and Zonal Publicity Secretary, Malam Musa Mailafiya Mada.
