The Kaduna State Government has distributed campaign vehicles to All Progressives Congress (APC) chairmen in eight local government areas to strengthen the party’s grassroots mobilisation ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The vehicles are expected to support the movement of party officials across communities, wards and polling units, giving them better access to residents as they intensify political campaigns and voter engagement.
It was gathered that the presentation took place on Saturday at the campaign office of the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Sadiq Lagos, in Kaduna.
Sadiq represented the state government during the exercise, which covered the party’s Zone One.
Speaking at the event, Mamman Lagos said the distribution was part of a broader plan to reinforce the APC’s organisational structures across the state.
He disclosed that similar presentations had previously taken place in Zones Two and Three.
Also, Sadiq urged the beneficiaries to deploy the vehicles effectively in promoting the party’s programmes and mobilising support for its candidates.
However, he stressed the need for peaceful political engagement, public awareness and voter education.
The commissioner also advised the APC chairmen to take the party’s message directly to communities by explaining its policies and highlighting the achievements of the federal and Kaduna State governments.
He specifically mentioned infrastructure projects, including the Abuja expressway and the Mando-Birnin Gwari road, as developments that party members should communicate to residents during their mobilisation campaigns.
Former Kaduna State Governor and APC senatorial candidate for Kaduna North, Mukhtar Yero, welcomed the initiative, saying adequate logistical support was necessary for effective grassroots political activities.
Yero urged party members to remain united, demonstrate commitment to the APC leadership and strengthen their political structures ahead of the next general elections.
Similarly, APC chairman in Lere Local Government Area, Jonathan Shekarou, expressed appreciation to Governor Uba Sani and Mamman Lagos for providing the vehicles.
Shekarou said the support would improve the beneficiaries’ ability to reach more communities and polling units.
He assured that the vehicles would be used to promote peaceful campaigns and communicate the party’s programmes to voters.
The distribution comes as political parties begin strengthening their grassroots structures ahead of the 2027 elections, with the APC seeking to expand its mobilisation network across Kaduna State.
