APC begins 2027 grassroots mobilisation in Kano

Gov. Abba Yusuf of Kano State has launched a strateic grassroots engagement to strengthen the APC’s support base ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The initiative brought together leaders and members of the APC Polling Unit Supporters Association, popularly known as ’Yan Akwatina’.

Yusuf said the engagement was designed to consolidate the party’s structure and secure victories across elective positions in Kano and nationally.

A statement on Wednesday by his spokesperson, Sanusi Bature, quoted the governor as saying the APC was mobilising from polling units.

“The party is mobilising from the polling unit level to secure victory for President Bola Tinubu and all APC candidates,” Yusuf said.

The governor described Tinubu’s re-election in 2027 as a key opportunity to consolidate economic reforms and infrastructure development.

Yusuf said continuity would enable Nigeria to sustain the gains recorded under the administration’s policies and programmes.

As part of support for the association, the governor donated plots of land and ₦100 million to strengthen its operations.

Earlier, the governor’s Political Adviser, Mustapha Buhari-Bakwana, said the event marked the beginning of APC’s grassroots mobilisation strategy.

He said the Polling Unit Supporters Association could mobilise about 1,122,200 votes for Tinubu during the next presidential election.

“The association has the capacity to mobilise at least 1,122,200 votes for President Tinubu,” Buhari-Bakwana said.

The association’s leader, Mr Najib Salati, praised Yusuf for recognising members through appointments at state and local government levels.

Salati pledged the group’s commitment to delivering “overwhelming victories” for the APC during the 2027 general elections.

The Kano APC Chairman, Mr Umar Haruna-Doguwa, said the party was positioned for a landslide victory.

He attributed the party’s confidence to Yusuf’s achievements, which he said had weakened opposition influence in the state.

Haruna-Doguwa expressed confidence that APC would maintain dominance as preparations for the elections intensify.

The association reportedly has structures across Kano’s 44 local government areas, 484 wards and all polling units.

The network is considered one of the APC’s largest grassroots mobilisation platforms in the state.
