- Several APC supporters spent Friday night at Ranchers Bees Stadium and on nearby streets to secure entry.
- President Bola Tinubu was scheduled to arrive in Kaduna at noon on Saturday.
- Party members and elected officials from the seven North-West states—Kano, Jigawa, Zamfara, Sokoto, Kebbi, Katsina and Kaduna—attended the campaign launch.
