2027 Campaign Flag Off: Kaduna Is Ready To Host Mr President—LOC

The Local Organising Committee (LOC) head of the 2027 Presidential Campaign flag off for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kaduna, Dr Hadiza Balarabe, announced that President Bola Tinubu will visit the city on Saturday. After inspecting the Kaduna Township Stadium facilities on Wednesday, Balarabe expressed confidence in the readiness of the venue. The stadium, slated to host the rally, has the necessary holding area, conveniences, and pavilions. However, the LOC is still working on marking different states.

The Deputy Governor emphasized that the LOC has thoroughly discussed security measures for the event, involving seasoned security professionals from both state and federal levels. She assured that attendees will be screened before entering the stadium, promising their safety within the venue. The LOC anticipates a significant turnout from party members and supporters nationwide, as the North West region supports the APC.

Malam Ahmed Maiyaki, the Commissioner of Information and Culture, also shared updates. He stated that the mobilisation process for the event continues, with all hotels and service apartments in Kaduna metropolis fully booked. Maiyaki expressed pride and honor in hosting the presidential campaign flag off, highlighting that citizens are excited to welcome President Tinubu.

Over the past three and a half years, Kaduna State has benefited from the APC-led administration through various projects and federal appointments for its citizens. These include the conversion of Federal College of Education Zaria to a university, Kaduna Polytechnic to a Federal University of Technology, the Mando-Birnin Gwari road (122km), and the proposed Kaduna Light Rail Project.
