Kaduna Ready For APC Flag-Off: Defence Minister Musa Inspects 8,000-Capacity Ranchers Bees Stadium
The Minister of Defence, General Christopher Musa, on Thursday declared that Kaduna State was fully prepared to host the official flag-off of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign on Saturday, October 24, 2026.
He said thousands of party leaders, delegates and supporters were expected to gather in Kaduna to launch the party’s campaign ahead of the forthcoming general election.
“Preparations across the state capital have reached an advanced stage, with local organising committees, security agencies and party executives working in synchronisation to ensure a smooth and successful event,” Musa said.
As part of the final site assessments, the minister conducted a comprehensive inspection of Ranchers Bees Stadium, venue for the campaign rally.
Meanwhile, the Forum of Chief Executive Officers of Federal Government Parastatals (FORCEPA), made up of over 500 chief executives, said it has mobilised over 100,000 supporters to storm Kaduna and pledged to mobilise 10 million votes for Tinubu and Vice-President Kashim Shettima.
The Co-Chairman of the Directorate of Women Mobilisation, Dr. Betta Edu, said the directorate is targeting about 40 million votes for Tinubu in 2027.
“We have gone through the reform phase already. Now, it is time for prosperity. We are already at the gate of prosperity once President Tinubu is re-elected,” Edu declared.
In an interesting turn, Olujonwo Obasanjo, son of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, has joined Tinubu Movement for Sustainable Governance Foundation (TMS), known as Tinubu Must Stay.
