The All Progressives Congress held affirmation exercises across all 255 political wards in Kaduna State's 23 local government areas on Saturday, with members voting unanimously to back President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's re-election bid.
The exercise drew large crowds of party members and stakeholders from the Southern Kaduna axis through the Central and Northern Senatorial Districts. Officials from the Independent National Electoral Commission monitored the process to ensure compliance with electoral guidelines.
Governor Uba Sani, who personally monitored the affirmation across parts of the state, praised the turnout and orderly conduct. "Today's overwhelming affirmation across the 255 wards in Kaduna State is a clear reflection of the confidence our party members and the people have in the leadership of President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu," he said.
Sani described the exercise as proof of the APC's strength heading into the 2027 general elections. He told party members to remain steadfast and united in strengthening party structures. "We remain committed to consolidating the gains of the current administration and sustaining purposeful leadership for the progress and stability of Nigeria," the governor stated.
The affirmation proceeded without incident, with designated local government collation officers now compiling returns from the voting areas. Governor Uba Sani will receive the final consolidated result and formally present it to the APC Presidential Primary Committee in Abuja during the scheduled announcement on Sunday, May 24, 2026.
