Kano APC Stakeholders Raise N50m, Endorse Tinubu as Sole Presidential Candidate for 2027

Stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State have pledged a total of N50 million towards the purchase of nomination forms for Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The announcement was made during a high-level stakeholders’ meeting held at the Coronation Hall of the Kano Government House, where party leaders unanimously adopted the President as the APC’s sole presidential candidate for the upcoming polls.

Prominent figures at the meeting included Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, and former governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, alongside other key party stakeholders.

According to a statement issued by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Mustapha Muhammad, the gathering brought together influential party leaders who reaffirmed their commitment to the continuity of Tinubu’s administration.

A motion for the President’s adoption was moved by Rabiu Sulaiman Bichi and received unanimous support from participants.

Speaking at the meeting, the Kano State APC Chairman, Umar Haruna Doguwa, disclosed that the state chapter had initially planned to fully fund the nomination forms but later resolved to adopt a collective contribution approach.

“We have agreed to contribute the sum of N50 million towards the purchase of the expression of interest and nomination forms for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” he said.

Stakeholders noted that the endorsement underscores their confidence in Tinubu’s leadership and ongoing reforms, as well as their determination to secure victory for the party in the 2027 elections.

In a related development, the meeting also adopted Governor Yusuf as the APC’s sole governorship candidate in Kano State, a move party leaders described as a strategic step to strengthen unity ahead of the polls.

They further commended members for their commitment and called for sustained cohesion to boost the party’s electoral prospects and drive development in the state.
