Tinubu Arrives Kaduna Under Tight Security as APC Kicks Off 2027 Presidential Campaign

According to a report by Daily Post on Saturday October 24, 2026, President Bola Tinubu has arrived in Kaduna State for the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign flag-off ahead of the 2027 general elections, with security tightened around the event.

The President was welcomed by senior government officials, security chiefs and prominent APC members upon his arrival in the state.

Among those who received him at the airport were the campaign Director-General, Abdulaziz Yari, and the APC National Chairman, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda.

Tinubu’s visit is centred on the ruling party’s campaign activities as political parties prepare for the 2027 presidential election. The event is expected to bring together party leaders, supporters and other political stakeholders.

During his stay in Kaduna, the President is also expected to commission projects and hold meetings with stakeholders in the state.

The campaign flag-off marks a significant step in the APC’s preparations for the next general elections, as political parties begin organising their activities and mobilising supporters ahead of the contest.

Tinubu is expected to face several opposition figures in the presidential race, including Peter Obi of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) and Atiku Abubakar of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), according to the report.

Security arrangements were reinforced ahead of the President’s arrival, although further details about the measures put in place for the campaign event were not provided.

The Kaduna gathering is expected to serve as a platform for the APC to outline its campaign priorities and rally support for Tinubu’s bid for a second term.

Further details about the projects scheduled for commissioning and the outcomes of the President’s engagements with state stakeholders were not immediately available.
