2027: APC Confident of Landslide Victory in Kaduna – Abbas Assures Tinubu

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, has expressed strong confidence that the All Progressives Congress (APC) will secure a landslide victory in Kaduna State during the 2027 general elections, assuring President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of total dominance across the state.

Speaking during a courtesy visit by Kaduna political stakeholders to the President, Abbas said the ruling party has now gained widespread acceptance across the state’s three senatorial districts—Kaduna North, Central, and South—marking a major political shift ahead of 2027.

According to him, what used to be a divided political landscape has transformed into a unified front, with leaders across all zones working together to ensure victory for the APC. He stated that the visit was aimed at briefing the President on the party’s growing strength and to reassure him that 2027 is guaranteed, with a landslide victory from zone one to zone two to zone three.

The Speaker explained that in previous elections, APC’s strength was largely limited to northern and central Kaduna, while Southern Kaduna remained a stronghold of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). However, he credited Governor Uba Sani for fostering inclusiveness and bridging long-standing political and regional divides, which has led to increased acceptance of the APC in the southern part of the state.

He also highlighted recent political developments, including the defection of Senator Sunday Marshall Katung and other lawmakers from the PDP to the APC, describing it as a major boost to the ruling party’s structure and grassroots appeal. With these shifts, Abbas declared that the APC is now the dominant political force across all three senatorial districts in Kaduna State.

In his remarks, Senator Katung reaffirmed Kaduna’s readiness for the 2027 elections, noting that efforts are ongoing to attract more stakeholders into the APC. He attributed the growing support for the party to federal and state government interventions, including key development projects that have improved the lives of people in Southern Kaduna.

Former lawmaker Shehu Sani described the current political alignment in Kaduna as historic, pointing out that the state has long been divided along religious and regional lines. He noted that while the northern part traditionally supported APC and its legacy parties, the predominantly Christian southern region had consistently aligned with the PDP since 1999.

According to him, this is the first time both the Muslim North and Christian South are united with a common goal—to re-elect Governor Uba Sani and President Tinubu in 2027. He added that this unity is driven by what he described as verifiable achievements in infrastructure, healthcare, education, and governance by both the federal and state governments.

The stakeholders unanimously declared Kaduna “battle-ready” for the next general elections, pledging to mobilise voters across all communities to ensure a sweeping victory for APC candidates. They emphasised that continued grassroots engagement and visible development projects would be key factors in securing electoral success.

Political analysts say Kaduna remains a crucial battleground in Nigeria’s electoral landscape, and the emerging unity, defections, and shifting alliances could significantly influence the outcome of the 2027 elections.
