President Bola Tinubu formally launched his 2027 re-election campaign at an All Progressives Congress rally in Kaduna on Saturday, asking Nigerians for a renewed mandate to continue his administration’s economic reforms and development projects.

Tinubu promised sustained economic recovery, prosperity and development, and urged eligible voters to obtain Permanent Voter Cards. He said his government was addressing hunger and poverty inherited from previous administrations and cited regular salary payments and efforts against corruption and fuel smuggling.

Vice President Kashim Shettima and Kaduna Governor Uba Sani urged northern voters to support Tinubu based on his administration’s record in infrastructure and education. Sani said the federal government had funded road construction, school reopenings and healthcare services in Kaduna, while Shettima highlighted education initiatives and major transport and energy projects.

Secretary to the Government of the Federation George Akume said the North should support Tinubu in 2027 and defer another northern presidential bid until 2031. APC campaign council member Musa Illiyasu Kwankwaso similarly claimed the rally’s turnout demonstrated North-West support for the president.

APC National Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda said Tinubu deserved a second term to consolidate his reforms. Works Minister David Umahi said the federal government had completed more than 348 kilometres of roads in the North-West and partially completed another 1,800 kilometres. Campaign flags were also presented to the APC’s seven North-West governorship candidates.
