A group of All Progressives Congress (APC) leaders and supporters in Jema’a Local Government Area of Kaduna State, Nigeria, have publicly declared their support for President Bola Tinubu, Governor Uba Sani, and all APC candidates in the upcoming 2027 general elections. The group, comprising members from Kafanchan Wards A and B, aims to mobilize voters across Southern Kaduna to ensure the party's victory at all levels. They have pledged to promote peaceful and issue-based campaigns.
The APC supporters, under the APC Jema’a Emirate (Kafanchan A and B), issued a statement on Monday, reaffirming their loyalty to Tinubu and his administration. They cited the Federal Government's Renewed Hope Agenda, which emphasizes cooperation with state and local governments to strengthen primary healthcare, basic education, and other essential public services. The group expressed confidence in Governor Uba Sani's administration, highlighting its interventions in education, healthcare, infrastructure, and rural development.
The APC members particularly commended the proposed upgrade and conversion of the Sir Patrick Yakowa General Hospital, Kafanchan, to a Federal Medical Centre. This move is expected to improve access to specialized healthcare for residents of Kafanchan, Jema’a, Southern Kaduna, and neighboring communities. The group appreciated the appointment of indigenes of the area into various public offices, as well as the provision of learning materials to schools and the refurbishment of primary healthcare centers.
According to the group, these interventions have strengthened the people's sense of belonging and contributed to the development of their communities. They pledged to mobilize peacefully and lawfully for the party's victory while rejecting violence, hate speech, misinformation, intimidation, and other forms of divisive politics. The APC supporters also appealed to party members to set aside personal differences and unite behind the party's candidates.
The group, led by Abubakar Hassan, Ismaila Tijjani, Prof. Bashir Idris, and others, emphasized the importance of unity and purposeful leadership. They stated that their strength lies in their unity, and their responsibility is to the people. The APC supporters reiterated their commitment to working tirelessly for the success of all duly nominated APC candidates.
The development is seen as a boost to the APC's efforts to consolidate support in Southern Kaduna ahead of the 2027 elections. The party's ability to unite its members and promote a peaceful and issue-based campaign will be crucial in determining its success in the region.
