Thousands of supporters of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Friday took to the streets of Kaduna in a solidarity march organised by the Support Group Directorate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), ahead of the party’s presidential campaign rally scheduled for Saturday, October 24.
The procession, led by the Director of the APC-PCC Support Group Directorate, Dr Silas Ali Agara, moved from the Savannah Bank area towards the Kaduna State Government House, where the delegation was received by Governor Uba Sani. The participants later returned to the APC Ciki da Waje State Secretariat.
The march featured APC flags bearing messages of support for Tinubu, while participants expressed their solidarity through drumming, dancing and other activities. The exercise brought together support group members and political stakeholders as the party prepared for the campaign rally.
Receiving the delegation, Governor Uba Sani commended the organisers for mobilising supporters and called for unity, peaceful political participation and sustained engagement with citizens ahead of the 2027 general election.
The governor expressed confidence in Tinubu’s support in Kaduna State, saying the state would back the President in recognition of what he described as his administration’s achievements.
“Kaduna State will support President Tinubu and vote massively for him in recognition of his achievements,” Sani said, urging supporters to remain united and peaceful as campaign activities gathered momentum.
Agara thanked the governor for receiving the delegation and praised support group leaders and members for their participation in the mobilisation exercise.
He said the directorate’s responsibility extended beyond organising processions, stressing the importance of grassroots engagement and communicating the administration’s policies and programmes to Nigerians.
According to Agara, the Kaduna march was part of efforts to coordinate support groups and strengthen their participation ahead of the 2027 elections. He also indicated that similar solidarity walks would be organised in other states ahead of presidential campaign rallies.
Other political figures associated with the event included former Niger State Deputy Governor Ahmed Mohammed Ketso, former Edo State Deputy Governor Philip Shaibu, Minister of State for Works Bello Muhammad Goronyo, North-West support group coordinator Bafa Dan Agundi and Senator Suleiman Hunkuyi.
The mobilisation came ahead of the APC presidential campaign flag-off scheduled for Saturday at Kaduna Township Stadium, with party leaders, governors, campaign officials and supporters expected to attend.
The gathering marks part of the party’s early mobilisation efforts for the 2027 presidential election. While organisers presented the turnout as a demonstration of support for Tinubu, the eventual electoral outcome will be determined by voters at the polls.
