2027: Abbas, Kaduna state elders assure Tinubu of 100% support

Tajudeen Abbas, Speaker of the House of Representatives, on Wednesday, led elders of Kaduna state on a courtesy visit, at the presidential Villa, Abuja, with assurance that the state will support his reelection bid.

Abbas, speaking with State House Journalists, after the courtesy visit, said the stakeholders from Kaduna State, comprising Shehu Sani and Sunday Marshall, will work to ensure victory for the All Progressive Congress APC, in Kaduna state, in 2027.

Abbas stated that Shehu Sani who represents the Central zone of Kaduna, known as zone two and Sunday Marshall who is from zone three, Southern zone of Kaduna and himself representing the northern zone, were at the State House to the President that 2027 is assured.

“We are here to just pay a courtesy visit to Mr. President, our father, to brief him about the progress of APC in Kaduna, and to tell him that APC has been accepted 100% in all the nooks and crannies of Kaduna, and to assure him as well that 2027 is guaranteed; land slide from zone one to zone two to zone three.

‘In the other dispensations, Kaduna has not been too lucky for APC because the acceptability of APC was just limited to zone one and zone two”

He however attributed the change of fortune for the APC to the “ingenuity” of Governor Uba Sani, who he said ” has been able to reach out to zone three, which used to be predominantly PDP, to come and join us in APC and today, the story is, APC is the dominant party in all the three zones”

Recall that Sunday Marshall, had about two months ago, decamped from PDP to join the APC, along with all the other Rep members and House of Assembly from the party, in the wake of the current crisis in PDP

“So we just came to say hello to him and also to assure him that Kaduna is ready, battle ready to ensure that Mr. President and all other candidates under the APC platform will get land slide victory come 2027 election. In summary, that’s what we are here for.”

Also speaking on the development, Sunday Marshal, assured President that Kaduna is primed for the APC in 2027,

“We’ve done our homework and we are still working, trying to woo those who are still sitting on the sidelines to ensure that they come and embrace the APC.

“We’ve seen what the President has done, particularly for my senatorial district; he has given us a university, he has given us a Federal Medical Centre, and the governor has done so many projects in our senatorial district that never used to happen before. That’s showed us inclusiveness and that’s why we are embracing the APC wholeheartedly”

In his contribution, Shehu Sani, said Kaduna State had since 1999, been voting either APP, CPC and APC, adding that ” But the southern part, which is predominantly Christians, has been voting the PDP.

” This is the first time in the history of our state where the Muslim North and the Christian South are all united and resolved to re-elect Governor Uba Sani and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027 and the resolve is factored on the verifiable achievements on the ground that have been made in the last two and a half years”

He stated that the state has seen the intervention by the federal government in all areas; in health, in education, in infrastructure, and the governor of the state has been able to build bridges between the North and the South.

* He runs an all inclusive government, and we can proudly say that the people of the state are now united and are determined to show the appreciation with the next election that is coming.

“Governor Uba Sani and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu have seriously given Kaduna State a new lease of life, if you compare it to what was the case before 2023 and we are ever grateful for that.

“Our presence here is to assure Mr. President that we will do everything possible, using the factors on the ground, the projects on the ground, the achievements that have been made, to ensure that we pay back for all that he has done to us”
