The All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday inaugurated its North-Central Zonal Presidential Campaign Office in Minna, Niger State, as part of efforts to strengthen its campaign coordination ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The inauguration was performed by the party’s national chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda, alongside Niger Governor Umaru Bago and other party leaders.
Speaking at the event, Bago thanked the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) for its continued support and sacrifices, saying these would strengthen the party’s structures and encourage members to pursue its objectives.
He described the campaign office as an institution belonging to the people and committed to serving Nigerians’ interests.
In his remarks, Yilwatda commended Bago for providing the office and supporting the party’s activities in the zone.
He described the governor as a committed party member, noting that he was the first among the party’s zonal coordinators to organise a zonal rally for President Bola Tinubu.
Yilwatda expressed confidence in the party’s preparations for the 2027 elections and urged members to work towards securing victory for its candidates at all levels.
He said the party leadership appreciated Bago’s contributions, particularly the provision of the office, which would serve as a coordination centre for campaign activities across the zone.
Earlier, Ahmed Ibeto, Chairman of the APC Presidential and Gubernatorial Campaign Council in Niger, said Bago had provided the resources needed to facilitate the party’s campaign activities.
He said the governor had supported the council’s proposals and provided the tools required to mobilise support for APC candidates in the state.
Ibeto assured the national chairman that the council would work towards securing victory for all APC candidates in Niger.
Similarly, the APC North-Central Zonal Chairman, Muazu Bawa-Rijau, expressed optimism about the party’s preparations for the 2027 elections.
He assured the national chairman that the party would mobilise support across Niger for its presidential, governorship, National Assembly and state assembly candidates.
Bawa-Rijau also pledged the commitment of APC state chairmen and other stakeholders to working together to secure victory for the party.
