News Investigators/ Kaduna State All Progressives Congress (APC) Consensus Aspirants Forum has pledged to deploy its political structures for grassroots mobilisation and to secure victory for Tinubu, Uba Sani and other APC candidates in the state in 2027 election.
The forum made the pledge on Sunday at a press conference in Kaduna, saying its decision to accept the consensus arrangement was aimed at strengthening party unity and advancing the collective interest of the APC.
Godwin Luka, Chairman of the forum, said the members had willingly stepped aside to allow other party members to emerge as APC flag bearers.
Mr Luka said the aspirants had resolved to transform their political structures into a grassroots mobilisation force operating from the polling-unit level to wards, local governments and the state.
He said the forum’s commitment to the APC was driven not only by party loyalty but also by what it described as the performance of the Tinubu and Uba Sani administrations.
According to him, the forum was encouraged by ongoing infrastructure projects and other interventions being implemented by the Federal Government under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
He cited ongoing work on the Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria-Kano Road and the Sokoto-Badagry corridor, as well as interventions in education and other sectors.
Mr Luka also commended the Kaduna State Government for various development projects across the state.
He said the administration had initiated road projects across the 23 Local Government Areas, while also undertaking interventions in primary healthcare, education and agriculture.
The chairman listed the upgrade of primary healthcare centres, establishment of Centres of Excellence and completion of a 300-bed specialist hospital among projects the forum considered significant.
He also cited the construction and renovation of classrooms, recruitment of teachers and establishment of new secondary schools as evidence of government interventions in education.
According to him, the distribution of fertiliser and provision of tractors to smallholder farmers were also helping to extend government interventions to rural communities.
“This is performance we can see, and performance compels us to work,” Luka said.
He said the forum would embark on strategic top-to-bottom and bottom-to-top mobilisation involving unit-to-unit consultations, ward-to-ward engagements and direct interaction with communities.
Luka urged APC members to remain united and avoid internal divisions, stressing that discipline, reconciliation and effective grassroots organisation would be critical to the party’s success in 2027.
He called on Nigerians to support the Renewed Hope Agenda, saying the forum believed the policies of the Tinubu administration and development initiatives of the Uba Sani government were delivering benefits to the people.
He said the aspirants’ acceptance of the consensus arrangement should not be viewed as the end of their political aspirations, but as the beginning of a broader responsibility to contribute to the party’s electoral success.
“Our decision to accept consensus was not the end of our political journey. It was the beginning of a greater responsibility — to turn our unity into electoral strength,” he said.
