The All Progressives Congress (APC) Consensus Aspirants Forum in Kaduna State has resolved to donate its political structures to the party as a grassroots mobilisation force ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The forum said the move was aimed at strengthening the APC and securing victory for the party’s candidates at all levels in the 2027 elections.
Speaking at a news conference in Kaduna on Sunday, Chairman of the forum, Godwin Luka, said members had decided to put their personal political ambitions aside and dedicate their structures to the growth of the party.
Luka said, “We are putting personal ambitions aside and dedicating ourselves to strengthening the APC from the polling unit, to the ward, to the local government, and to the state level.even at the national level.
“Our commitment is not based merely on party loyalty. It is based on performance index of our leaders.
“At the federal level, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda is delivering. We see ongoing work on critical infrastructure like the Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria-Kano Road and the Sokoto-Badagry Corridor.

“The President has stated that over 2,700 kilometres of highways are under construction nationwide. We also acknowledge investments in education and targeted interventions in Northern Nigeria.”
He said the forum’s decision was also influenced by what it described as the performance of the Kaduna State Government under Governor Uba Sani.
He disclosed that, “In Kaduna State, Governor Uba Sani has proven to be a result-oriented leader. His administration has initiated about 150 road projects covering over 1,300km across all 23 LGAs.
“We have seen the upgrade of 255 primary healthcare centres, the establishment of 23 Centres of Excellence, the completion of a 300-bed specialist hospital, and massive interventions in education: 736 new classrooms, renovation of 1,200 classrooms, recruitment of 10,000 teachers, and 62 new secondary schools.”
Luka equally cited the distribution of 500 truckloads of free fertiliser and tractors to 150,000 smallholder farmers in 2026 as evidence that the government was reaching people at the grassroots.
He said the forum’s decision to support the APC was not conditional on individual political ambitions, stressing that its members were committed to the party’s success.
To this end, he noted that, “let it be clear: Our structures belong to the APC. Our loyalty is to the party. Our mission is to secure victory for all APC candidates in 2027.
“We will embark on a strategic top-to-bottom and bottom-to-top campaign. This means unit-to-unit consultations, ward-to-ward mobilisation, and direct engagement with communities across Kaduna State. We will take the message of the APC to the people, and we will also listen to their concerns.”
The chairman urged APC members to remain united and avoid internal divisions, saying the party’s strength in the 2027 elections would depend on discipline, reconciliation and effective grassroots organisation.
Luka said the forum’s acceptance of the consensus arrangement should not be viewed as the end of members’ political aspirations, but as the beginning of a broader responsibility to strengthen the party.
“In conclusion, our decision to accept consensus was not the end of our political journey. It was the beginning of a greater responsibility — to turn our unity into electoral strength and deliver a decisive victory for the APC in 2027,” he said.
