Vice President Kashim Shettima took his pitch directly to Kaduna voters, urging them to renew the APC's mandate by pointing to what the party says are measurable gains in education and infrastructure.
Senator Abdul'aziz Yari joined the call, pledging that the north would back President Bola Tinubu's re-election bid when Nigerians return to the polls in 2027.
With campaign season still years away, the early drumbeat from two of the party's heavyweights signals that the APC is already working to lock in its base. Whether voters in Kaduna and beyond feel those infrastructure promises where it counts will be the real test.
