The All Progressives Congress (North-West zone) will embark on a strategic tour of its seven states to strengthen the party ahead of the 2027 general elections by engaging stakeholders.
‎
A statement on Thursday by Musa Mada, APC North-West spokesman, said the decision was reached at a meeting of the zonal leadership in Kaduna.

‎
It said the meeting, chaired by the APC North-West zonal secretary, Isah Achida, in the absence of the national vice-chairman (North-West), Garba Datti (who was away on official assignment), deliberated on strategies to mobilise support and secure a higher number of votes for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.
‎
According to the statement, the proposed tour will provide an opportunity for the leadership to engage stakeholders across the zone on measures to strengthen the party.
‎
‎It added that the meeting also reviewed strategies aimed at retaining all seven North-West states under the control of the APC.
‎
‎The statement described the current political landscape as unprecedented, noting that it was the first time since the creation of states in Nigeria that a single political party governed all seven North-West states. ‎It also expressed appreciation to Governor Uba Sani for donating a utility vehicle to the party to support its operations.
‎
‎The party further commended the governors of the North-West states for their continued support, describing their contributions as vital to the effective functioning of the party’s zonal headquarters.
