President Bola Tinubu
Ahead of the 2027 general elections, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Taraba State has unveiled a grassroots mobilisation strategy aimed at strengthening support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Governor Agbu Kefas and other party candidates.
The strategy was unveiled during the first stakeholders’ meeting of the Tinubu/Kefas campaign council in Jalingo, where party leaders and political stakeholders resolved to take their message directly to communities across the state.
The meeting, held at the conference hall of the Taraba State Internal Revenue Service, brought together members of the National Assembly, state lawmakers, APC leaders, government appointees and representatives of federal office holders.
The council’s Director-General, Hon. Danladi Baido, alongside APC State Chairman Alhaji Abubakar Bawa, led discussions on how to coordinate campaign activities and strengthen party unity ahead of the elections.
Speaking after the meeting, Publicity Secretary of the campaign council, Emmanuel Bello, said the focus was to harmonise strategies and prepare members for effective engagement with the electorate.
Bello said the party would not depend only on its existing political structures but would embark on direct voter engagement through ward-to-ward mobilisation across Taraba’s three senatorial zones.
He said the campaign would allow the party to communicate the achievements of the Tinubu and Kefas administrations while also listening to the concerns and expectations of residents.
“The council was determined not to take the electorate for granted,” Bello said, adding that the planned activities would strengthen the relationship between the party and voters.
The meeting attracted two senators representing the state, members of the House of Representatives, state lawmakers and other major political actors, while some stakeholders sent representatives.
Meanwhile, APC Publicity Secretary Aaron Artimas announced that President Tinubu’s campaign flag-off in Taraba had been scheduled for December 19, with the possibility of the President attending the event.
Artimas said the state chapter would also announce its own campaign flag-off date, adding that the party had already begun preparations to mobilise support across communities.
He said the decision to embark on grassroots sensitisation was aimed at ensuring that residents across the state were reached before the election.
Artimas also expressed confidence in Taraba’s electoral strength, saying the state’s large number of registered voters had made it an important political battleground ahead of 2027.
