Speaker of Nigeria’s House of Representatives, Honourable Tajudeen Abbas has projected a landslide victory for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general election.
He declared that the ruling party now enjoys overwhelming support and remains firmly rooted across Kaduna State.
Speaker Abbas made the declaration at the State House, Abuja, when he led a high-powered delegation of prominent Kaduna stakeholders on a visit to President Tinubu, including Senator Sunday Marshall Katung, representing Kaduna South, and Senator Shehu Sani, who represented Kaduna Central between 2015 and 2019.

Describing the visit as a strategic engagement, the Speaker said the delegation came to brief the President on the increasing strength and acceptance of the APC across Kaduna State.
“This is Kaduna in summary. We are here to assure Mr. President that APC has been accepted 100 per cent in all the nooks and crannies of Kaduna, and to tell him that 2027 is guaranteed a landslide from zone one to zone two to zone three,” Abbas said.
He attributed the political shift to the “ingenuity” and inclusive governance style of Governor Uba Sani, which he said has attracted broad-based support across religious and regional divides in the state.
Abbas noted that the delegation was deliberately drawn from the three senatorial zones of Kaduna State, underscoring what he described as a broad and united political front.
He noted that unlike in previous election cycles, when the APC’s strength was largely concentrated in the northern and central parts of the state.
According to him, recent political developments have significantly widened the party’s influence to the southern zone, long regarded as a traditional stronghold of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The Speaker also pointed to recent defections into the APC, noting that Senator Sunday Marshall Katung and other elected officials from the PDP had joined the ruling party, a development he said has further consolidated the APC’s dominance across Kaduna State.
“We are battle-ready to ensure that Mr. President and all other APC candidates secure landslide victories in 2027,” he said.
In his remarks, Senator Sunday Marshall Katung said efforts were ongoing to woo more political actors into the APC, noting that the party had already made significant inroads in the state.
He also commended President Tinubu for impactful interventions in his senatorial district, including the establishment of a university and a Federal Medical Centre.
“We have done our homework and are still working to bring those on the sidelines into the APC. We have seen what the President has done, particularly for my senatorial district, including a university and a Federal Medical Centre,” senator Katung said.
He added that the projects, alongside developmental strides by the state government, have fostered a sense of inclusion in Southern Kaduna, encouraging widespread support for the ruling party.
Also speaking, Senator Shehu Sani said Kaduna State was witnessing an unprecedented political alignment.
He added that for the first time in the state’s history, the Muslim North and Christian South were united in support of the re-election of Governor Uba Sani and President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
