The Kaduna State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has stepped up early preparations for the 2027 general elections, convening a high-level strategic roundtable with key party stakeholders across the state.
The meeting, held at Raffle Suites along Rabah Road in Kaduna, brought together the 23 Local Government Party Chairmen, Secretaries, and members of the State Executive Committee to deliberate on strengthening party structures and unity ahead of the polls.
Central to the engagement was the resolve to position the party for a landslide victory for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Uba Sani in the 2027 elections, with participants agreeing on the need for coordinated grassroots mobilisation.
Discussions focused on enhancing internal cohesion, aligning stakeholders, and building a unified front that would deliver overwhelming electoral success for the APC at both state and national levels.
The forum also examined intra-party challenges, particularly post-congress disputes, with participants identifying practical solutions aimed at ensuring stability and preventing internal divisions that could undermine electoral prospects.
In his welcome address, Hon. Atiku Sanke the State Party Chairman charged participants to treat the gathering as a crucial point of call in the journey toward 2027, urging them to work collectively to secure victory for the party.
He emphasized that unity, discipline, and loyalty remain non-negotiable, stressing that only a cohesive party structure could guarantee a landslide win for its candidates.
Keynote presentations were delivered by Dr. Abdul Ishaq, Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Stakeholder Engagement, and Muhammed Jalal, former Managing Director of KADGIS and Special Adviser to the Governor on Community Engagement.
The speakers highlighted the importance of effective grassroots mobilisation, sustained stakeholder engagement, and strict adherence to party guidelines as essential ingredients for a credible primary process and eventual electoral success.
They further underscored the need to reconnect with the grassroots, build trust among party faithful, and ensure inclusivity in decision-making processes to strengthen the party’s base.
The roundtable concluded with a renewed commitment by stakeholders to close ranks, resolve internal disputes, and implement strategic measures aimed at delivering a decisive and landslide victory for the APC, President Tinubu, and Governor Uba Sani in the 2027 general elections.
