  "account": "Vice-President Kashim Shettima and Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State advocated for President Bola Tinubu's re-election in 2027 during the commencement of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign in Kaduna. During the event, Shettima highlighted the administration's achievements in infrastructure development, education funding, and economic reforms, emphasizing the importance of maintaining national unity. He commended the efforts of the APC leaders in sustaining the nation despite economic challenges. Shettima specifically praised federal interventions in Kaduna, including the establishment of Federal University of Applied Sciences, Kachia, Federal University of Education, Zaria, and vocational institutes. He also mentioned key projects like the Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano gas pipeline and major road and rail corridors. Shettima urged Kaduna residents to renew Tinubu and Sani's mandates, asserting the party's commitment to continuity and development.\n\nGovernor Uba Sani echoed similar sentiments, praising Tinubu for his work in transportation, education, healthcare, agriculture, security, and human capital development. He reported on the reconstruction of a 123-kilometre road that had been inactive for years, citing improvements in security and the reopening of numerous schools and healthcare centers. Sani also highlighted the substantial investment in the North-West zone, with N84 billion through the NELFund benefiting 414,000 students. Additionally, he announced the progress on the Zaria-Soba-Funtua Road and Abuja-Kaduna Expressway, which was nearly 95% complete. Sani urged Nigerians, particularly those in Northern Nigeria, to support Tinubu's re-election, emphasizing the administration's infrastructure and agricultural initiatives. The Director-General of APC Presidential Campaign Council, Abdulaziz Yari, explained that Kaduna was chosen for the campaign flag-off due to the region's significance. Yari criticized opposition groups for spreading misinformation through AI-generated content, asserting that voters should choose their leaders based on performance and engagement. He claimed that more than two million farmers had pledged their support for Tinubu, and campaign officials were actively engaging with traditional rulers, religious leaders, and community stakeholders. Yari expressed confidence in the APC's prospects in the upcoming election, attributing it to the administration's infrastructure projects, economic reforms, and agricultural interventions.",
