AAC Launches 500 Campaign Tricycles in Bauchi to Boost Grassroots Mobilisation Ahead of 2027

The African Action Congress (AAC) in Bauchi State has launched a new grassroots mobilisation campaign by deploying 500 branded commercial tricycles, popularly known as Keke Napep, across six campaign clusters in the state.

The initiative, unveiled on Tuesday by the Bauchi State chapter of the party, is aimed at taking the AAC’s message directly to residents as political activities gradually build towards the 2027 general elections.

According to a statement signed by the Bauchi State Chairman of the party, Ambassador Umar Y. Abubakar, the project is fully funded by the state leadership and marks the beginning of the “Bauchi AAC Keke Napep Contact and Mobilization Program.”

As part of the first phase, the party said it produced 5,000 campaign stickers featuring the images of AAC National Leader and Presidential Candidate , Omoyele Sowore, and the party’s Bauchi Governorship Candidate, Alhaji Sarki Abdullahi Adamu DanChina. The stickers have been placed on 500 commercial tricycles operating in different parts of the state.

The party believes the mobile campaign will give it daily visibility across communities while creating an opportunity to engage more residents on its policies and programmes.

AAC said the campaign also highlights its proposed economic agenda, built around four key pillars: the Orange Economy, Purple Economy, Blue Economy and Green Economy, which focus on areas such as innovation, education, healthcare, agriculture, renewable energy, culture and sustainable development.

The party further used the campaign to promote some of its policy proposals, including a ₦500,000 national minimum wage, job creation, improved public education and healthcare, anti-corruption measures and what it described as people-centred governance.

Speaking on the initiative, Ambassador Umar Y. Abubakar described the programme as more than a political campaign, saying it is designed to bring the party closer to ordinary citizens.

“This initiative is more than a campaign; it is a movement to educate, mobilize and inspire the people of Bauchi State about the possibility of a government that prioritises justice, accountability, economic prosperity and the welfare of every citizen,” he said.

The Bauchi AAC leadership reaffirmed its commitment to peaceful and issue-based campaigns and urged residents to support the party’s vision for the state and the country.

The launch of the Keke Napep mobilisation programme is one of the earliest visible grassroots campaign efforts by the party as preparations for the 2027 elections continue to gather momentum across Nigeria.
