Tinubu’s 2027 campaign kicks off as APC supporters flood Kaduna stadium

Supporters of the All Progressives Congress and other Nigerians have trooped to Ranchers Bees Stadium in Kaduna State ahead of President Bola Tinubu’s arrival for the party’s presidential campaign flag-off on Saturday.

Our correspondent observed that major roads leading to the stadium had been barricaded, while groups of APC supporters began arriving as early as 7am.

Dressed in colourful outfits, the supporters were seen singing and dancing as they chanted slogans in Hausa and English, including “Asiwaju, Uba Sani for Second Term,” “Tinubu Again,” “Tinubu Our Father,” “Speaker Abbas for Tinubu” and “Tinubu Continuity.”

Many of the supporters wore T-shirts, caps and hijabs bearing pictures of President Tinubu, APC logos and images of their state governors, particularly those of Kano and Kaduna states.

The rally signals the start of the APC’s campaign for the 2027 presidential election, with 31 governors, party leaders and supporters expected to attend in large numbers to rally behind President Tinubu’s bid for a second term.
