The Kaduna State Government has distributed campaign vehicles to All Progressives Congress (APC) local government chairmen across the eight local government areas in Zone One as part of efforts to strengthen the party’s grassroots mobilisation ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The vehicles were presented by the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Sadiq Mamman Lagos, on behalf of the state government at his campaign office in Kaduna.
Speaking during the presentation, Mamman Lagos said the initiative was designed to improve the mobility of party officials and enhance political engagement across communities, wards and polling units.
He explained that the distribution was part of a broader initiative to strengthen the APC’s structures across the state, noting that similar exercises had already been carried out in Zones Two and Three.
“We have done Zones Two and Three, and now we are doing Zone One. We are distributing these vehicles to you because we want you to deliver Zone One to us,” he said.
The commissioner urged the beneficiaries to make effective use of the vehicles to mobilise support for the APC and its candidates ahead of the elections.
He, however, emphasised the need for peaceful, issue-based campaigns, voter education and public enlightenment, urging party officials to engage residents constructively.
According to him, the beneficiaries are expected to visit communities, educate residents on the programmes and achievements of APC-led governments and explain why voters should support the party.
“This is not just a campaign; it is a strategic one to be carried out through awareness and education. We want you to go around and sell our candidates, explain their programmes and tell people why they should vote for the APC,” he added.
Mamman Lagos also urged party members to showcase ongoing infrastructure and development projects by the federal and state governments, citing the Abuja expressway and the Mando-Birnin Gwari road as examples.
In his remarks, former Kaduna State Governor and APC senatorial candidate for Kaduna North, Dr Mukhtar Ramalan Yero, described the distribution as a welcome development, saying it would strengthen the party’s grassroots structures.
Yero noted that political parties required adequate logistical support to enable their members to reach communities and canvass support for candidates during elections.
He stressed that political parties remained essential to the electoral process and should be adequately supported to carry out their responsibilities.
“Without the party, there is no way you can even contest. You cannot be a president or a governor or whatever. So the party needs to be looked into and taken care of by giving them vehicles so that they can go around and seek support for the party and all the candidates,” he said.
The former governor urged party members to remain loyal to the party’s leadership and work collectively towards strengthening its structures ahead of the 2027 elections.
Also speaking, the APC chairman in Lere Local Government Area, Jonathan Shekarou, thanked Governor Uba Sani and the commissioner for the gesture.
Shekarou said the vehicles would improve the ability of party officials to reach communities and polling units, assuring that they would be used to promote peaceful campaigns and communicate the party’s programmes to residents.
The distribution is part of the APC’s broader mobilisation efforts to consolidate its grassroots structures across Kaduna State ahead of the 2027 general elections.
