Jerry Adams, the All Progressives Congress (APC) deputy governorship candidate in Kaduna State, has called on voters in Southern Kaduna and the Christian community to back President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Uba Sani in the 2027 general elections. Adams, a former chairman of the Kaduna State Internal Revenue Service (KADIRS), made the appeal through his representative, Samuel Atung, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, at the 31st Choral Convention held in Kaduna.
Appeal Rooted in Development Record
Speaking at the event themed “Let Your Light Shine,” Adams argued that the Southern Kaduna region has seen tangible benefits under the current APC administrations. He pointed to what he described as massive infrastructure development and appointments into federal and state positions as evidence of the government’s commitment to the area. According to Adams, these actions warrant reciprocal support from the electorate, urging residents to look beyond partisan lines and judge leaders on their performance and contributions to the community.
Endorsement for Senatorial Candidate
In his address, Adams specifically endorsed Senator Sunday Marshall Katung as the right choice for the Southern Kaduna senatorial seat. He praised Katung’s legislative interventions and his contributions to the region’s development, framing the senator as a leader who has demonstrated a tangible commitment to the people’s welfare.
A Call for Strategic Political Engagement
Beyond the immediate election cycle, Adams encouraged the Christian community and the people of Southern Kaduna to remain united and engage strategically in the political process. He stressed that their votes should be used to consolidate development and support leaders who have shown a proven dedication to their constituents. The choral convention, which served as the backdrop for this political appeal, was jointly organized by the Non-denominational Christian Association of Nigeria (NCCN) and the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) as a gathering for worship through music.
Looking Toward 2027
The appeal comes as political alignments begin to take shape ahead of the next national and state elections. Adams’s message, delivered to a faith-based audience, underscores the APC’s strategy of highlighting its governance record in the region while seeking to solidify its base. The central question for Southern Kaduna voters will be whether the development projects and appointments cited by Adams translate into sustained electoral support for the party in 2027, particularly in a region where political loyalty is often contested.
