The mega rally, which was held at Murtala Square in Kaduna, was attended by the APC National Chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Tajudeen Abbas, Minister of Environment, Balarabe Lawal, as well as the Chairman of North West Development Commission, Lawal Yakawada, and several thousands of APC supporters.
Speaking at the event, Governor Uba Sani assured the decampees that APC is one family which does not discriminate against its members, adding that ‘’those that have joined our party today and those that have been with us since the creation of this party will have the same privilege.”
The governor recalled that APC had only four members of the House of Representatives in 2023, but the party now has 14 members in the lower legislative chamber.
Governor Sani declared: ‘’Today in Kaduna, we don’t have any opposition. I promised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu some months ago that we were looking at 80 per cent of the votes. But today, I have shifted my ground; about 95 per cent of the total votes in Kaduna State will go to APC in 2027.”
He attributed the influx to his administration’s focus on justice, fairness, and inclusivity, stressing the use of the state’s diversity as our strength.
House of Representatives Speaker Tajudeen Abbas noted that the APC has achieved political dominance in Kaduna State, a feat that no party had ever attained in the state.
