From Kaduna, the campaign is expected to move to Port Harcourt in Rivers State on November 7, followed by Jos in Plateau State on November 14 and Ibadan in Oyo State on November 21.

The itinerary then lists Maiduguri, Borno State, for November 25, before moving to Enugu on November 28 and Bauchi on November 29.

December Rallies Across Four States

The proposed schedule continues into December with rallies in Sokoto on December 4, Asaba in Delta State on December 12 and Kano on December 17.

The campaign is then scheduled to resume in January 2027, with Yola in Adamawa State listed for January 4.

Lagos to Host Grand Finale

Lagos State is designated as the venue for the proposed grand finale on January 9, 2027.

The rally would mark the scheduled conclusion of the nationwide campaign itinerary, following the opening event in Kaduna in October 2026.

The proposed schedule covers 12 locations across different regions of the country as the APC prepares for the 2027 general elections.

The Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, has inaugurated members of the Office of the Deputy Director-General, Infrastructure, Mobilisation and Sensitisation, of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council for the 2027 elections.

Umahi, who serves as DDG, Infrastructure, Mobilisation and Sensitisation for the council, said the team would identify, document and publicise infrastructure projects being executed by the Federal Government across the country.

Speaking at the inaugural meeting in Abuja on Thursday, he said the initiative was aimed at strengthening coordination, infrastructure communication, mobilisation and public sensitisation ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

“The team’s primary responsibility is to identify, document, compile, and publicise infrastructure projects the Federal Government is executing across Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs).

“Although the Federal Ministry of Works accounts for a significant proportion of the Federal Government’s infrastructure investments, the team’s coverage should extend to other MDAs.

“This is to ensure a comprehensive account of infrastructure development across the six geopolitical zones of the country.”

Umahi said the Senior Special Assistants to the President (SSA-P) on Community Engagement for the six geopolitical zones who also appointed as Zonal Coordinators, other members of the ODDG, alongside the Secretary, should work collaboratively.

This, he said, was to identify and document relevant infrastructure projects within their respective zones.

He emphasised that the compilation should cover projects executed by the Federal Ministry of Works, as well as infrastructure initiatives undertaken by other MDAs.

He said this was to provide a comprehensive overview of infrastructure investments and the developmental strides of the Renewed Hope Administration of President Bola Tinubu, across the length and breadth of the country.

The minister clarified that existing publicity activities between the Ministry of Works and the senior special assistants would continue.

He added that the new office would provide a broader framework for coordinating information on infrastructure projects undertaken by other MDAs at zonal, sub-national and national levels.

According to him, accurate documentation and effective communication will make information on government infrastructure investments more accessible to Nigerians.

Umahi described infrastructure development as a key driver of economic growth, national development and community integration.

“Infrastructure investment stimulates economic activities, connects communities, creates opportunities and supports the growth of other sectors of the economy,” he said.

He also highlighted the Federal Government’s adoption of continuous reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) technology in road construction, saying it would reduce dependence on imported bitumen and promote the use of local resources and expertise.

The minister said the technology would support local economic activities, reduce foreign exchange demand associated with imported road construction material and promote more durable infrastructure delivery.

He urged members of the office to ensure that information on infrastructure projects was accurately compiled and effectively disseminated to the public.
