President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima arrive in Kaduna for the All Progressives Congress (APC) flag-off of the party’s 2027 presidential campaign. Multiple outlets report their arrival and the immediate buildup in and around the venue, including coverage with video and photos.

Coverage also notes strong security measures around the event, including tighter deployments across Kaduna and the guarding of campaign posters and billboards in the city.

Premium Times focuses on supporters sleeping at the venue and the race to get seats. Nigerian Eye highlights the size and atmosphere of the crowd and details of chants and themed attire. Information Nigeria and Daily Post also focus on the protection of campaign billboards, while one Daily Post item includes public reactions to the billboard-guarding reports.
