BIRNIN KEBBI, Kebbi State — APC supporters in Kebbi State on Saturday staged a massive unity rally to declare their backing for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid and Governor Nasir Idris’s second term in 2027.
The event, which drew a large crowd to the Haliru Abdu Stadium in the state capital, showcased the party’s strength and cohesion ahead of the next general elections. Party faithful from across the 21 local government areas turned out in large numbers, waving flags and chanting slogans of support.
Governor Nasir Idris, who addressed the gathering, expressed delight at the turnout. He described the massive support as a clear signal of confidence in both his administration and President Tinubu’s leadership.
The governor vowed that Kebbi State’s backing for Tinubu’s second term remains non-negotiable, according to reports from the rally. He noted that the people of the state are encouraged by the ongoing partnership between the federal and state governments.
Party leaders present included former governors and senior APC chieftains from the North-West zone. They emphasised the need for continued unity within the All Progressives Congress in Kebbi to sustain development projects across the state.
As a key northern state with significant agricultural potential, Kebbi’s political alignment with the centre has often influenced national discourse. Supporters at the rally linked their endorsement to expectations of more infrastructure and farming interventions under the current administration.
NaijaChoice News observed that the gathering reflected growing early mobilisation efforts by APC structures in the North-West as political activities intensify towards 2027. Local government chairmen, including the Augie LG chairman, reaffirmed total readiness to deliver the state for both Tinubu and Idris.
The rally comes months after Governor Idris had earlier pledged to deliver Kebbi for the president during a stakeholders’ meeting. Saturday’s event built on that commitment with visible grassroots participation.
Organisers described the unity rally as a platform to celebrate achievements so far while mobilising for continuity. Security was tight throughout the event, with no reported incidents.
The demonstration of solidarity sends a strong message of APC dominance in Kebbi politics at this stage.
This unity rally underscores the strategic importance of Kebbi State in national politics and the APC’s determination to maintain control in the 2027 polls.
