The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Taraba State on Saturday said it had concluded its grassroots engagement exercises ahead of the official flag-off of its 2027 campaign activities.
A statement signed by Hon. Emmanuel Bello, Director of Media and Strategic Communications of the Dr Agbu Kefas Re-election Campaign Council, said the development followed a series of meetings and consultations across the state’s senatorial zones.
The statement disclosed that the pre-campaign initiative was aimed at harmonising party stakeholders at the local level, fostering cohesion and establishing a common direction for the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.
It also quoted the Director-General of the Campaign Council, Hon. Danladi Baido, as having earlier urged stakeholders to take the engagements directly to the grassroots, emphasising the need to connect with the people and ensure that no segment of the party’s support base was left out.
Party leaders described the development as a demonstration of renewed commitment to securing victory for the APC in the 2027 elections.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner for Transportation Development, Hon. Yakubu S. Yakubu, commended stakeholders for their high level of compliance, commitment and participation in the exercise.
The commissioner said the engagements provided an opportunity to strengthen the APC’s relationship with the electorate.
“Beyond mobilisation, the exercise also provided an avenue to identify areas where grassroots structures and communities could receive additional support. Meetings were held to address outstanding issues, reconcile differences and secure renewed commitments from party members and supporters,” the commissioner stated.
