  "account": "Thousands of President Bola Tinubu supporters braved the streets of Kaduna State on Friday for a solidarity walk organized by the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council. The procession, led by Silas Agara and observed by PUNCH correspondent, began near the Savannah Bank and proceeded to the state government complex where Governor Uba Sani received the delegation. The streets of Kaduna buzzed with APC flags, drumming, dancing, and other celebratory activities as participants expressed their unity and solidarity for Tinubu. Hotels in the city center and Barnawa area were booked up, and APC members and campaign vehicles filled the city. Governor Sani praised the support groups' mobilization efforts and commended Tinubu's achievements, urging political participation, unity, and engagement with citizens ahead of the 2027 elections. Tinubu's 31 state governors and thousands of party leaders and members are set to arrive in Kaduna on Saturday for the president's re-election campaign, aiming to capitalize on northern support to boost Tinubu's bid for a second term in 2027.",
