2027: APC Projects Massive Turnout as Izunaso Declares Kaduna Campaign Flag-Off Test Case
By Pan Afric Reporters
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has expressed confidence in its readiness for the flag-off of its 2027 presidential campaign in Kaduna, with Senator Osita Izunaso projecting an unprecedented turnout of supporters and describing the event as a critical test of the party’s nationwide mobilisation strategy.
Izunaso, who spoke in Kaduna ahead of the campaign flag-off scheduled for tomorrow, said the party had put measures in place to manage the anticipated crowd, adding that the rally was expected to renew public confidence in governance and set the tone for its campaign ahead of the 2027 general elections.
“As for the approval, this venue tomorrow will rekindle the hope of good governance. You will see the gallery of men and women that will be here tomorrow. The crowd control is even what we are working on, because we know that more than the expected crowd will be here tomorrow. This is our flag-off, and we are going to make it big,” he said.
The senator disclosed that Kaduna would serve as a test case for the APC’s nationwide campaign mobilisation, with the party scheduled to move to Port Harcourt on November 7 for the next phase of its campaign activities.
“By the time we move from Kaduna, we are moving to Port Harcourt on the 7th of November. So Kaduna will be a test case,” he stated.
As part of the campaign launch, Izunaso said the seven governors of the North-West would receive campaign flags alongside President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, with the governors expected to take the flags to their respective states to drive grassroots mobilisation and strengthen the party’s campaign structure.
He further explained that the APC had developed a nationwide campaign arrangement covering all 36 states, with President Tinubu expected to visit at least 12 states, while Vice President Kashim Shettima would lead campaign activities in states the President would not visit.
Izunaso maintained that the party had put its organisational structures in place to ensure a coordinated and seamless campaign, expressing confidence in the APC’s support base while pledging continued engagement with Nigerians.
“So we have organised ourselves very well, and it is going to be seamless. Nigerians are happy with us. They love our party, and we want to make them happier by doing the right thing all the time,” he said.
