Better.
So Does Kaduna.
Not another politician's promise. A man who has already shown up for Kaduna without needing your vote first. Shehu ABG is not asking you to hope. He is asking you to expect results.

"A government produced by the people, conducted with the people, delivered for the people."
2027Independence Day Message · 1 October 2026
Nigeria at 66
Security, Human Capital and Shared Responsibility
The promise of our independence must find expression in safer communities, accessible healthcare, quality education and opportunities to earn a dignified living.
Fellow citizens of Kaduna State and Nigerians at large, our sixty-sixth independence anniversary calls for gratitude, deep reflection and a renewed commitment to the aspirations and hopes of our nation's founding fathers.
The promise of our independence must find expression in safer communities, accessible healthcare, quality education and opportunities to earn a dignified living. In Kaduna state, these responsibilities extend across all three senatorial zones and all 23 Local Government Areas.
These convictions underpin The P.E.O.P.L.E Agenda, an agenda deeply anchored in Security, Human Capital and Shared Responsibility.
As we commemorate this milestone, let us reaffirm our commitment to unity, peace and mutual respect across every ethnic and religious divide.
God bless Kaduna State. God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Together, We Can Do It Differently.

You are tired of waiting. We know.
You have heard the promises before. So have we.
You have watched money disappear. We all have.
But you are still here. So is Shehu ABG.
Most politicians wait until election season to discover your community. Shehu ABG has been in your wards, markets, and schools for over a decade - not with a camera crew, but with resources, attention, and genuine respect.
We are not going to tell you to trust him. We are going to show you what he has already done when nobody was looking.
Peoples Democratic PartyAbout the Candidate
A Son of Kaduna.
A Servant of the People.
I was born on 17 April 1973 in Kaduna - the fifth of thirteen children of Alhaji Bawa Garba, who pioneered satellite television in Northern Nigeria and founded the Kaduna International Trade Fair.
I earned my B.Sc. in Geography from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria in 1999, built businesses in telecoms, consulting, and agriculture - and resigned every directorship when I entered public life.
As your Member of the House of Representatives for Kaduna North (2011-2015), I fought for oversight of the agencies that affect your daily life. I know how the system works. And I know exactly what is broken.

What I Stand For
My Manifesto
The P.E.O.P.L.E Agenda:
Your Blueprint, My Promise
Every letter is a commitment made to the people of Kaduna - not in a conference room, but in your markets, wards, and homes.
Prioritizing Investment in People (Human Capital)
I will invest in every citizen of Kaduna, from the classroom to the workplace. I will rescue every public school and primary health centre, train young people in practical skills that lead to real jobs, and build social support that reaches women, widows, and vulnerable families. This is not a dream. It is a funded, time-bound plan.

Creating an inclusive economy where opportunities, infrastructure and public resources are fairly distributed so that individuals, families and businesses can prosper, regardless of where they live or their circumstances.
What We Will Deliver
By the end of our tenure, including a second term if entrusted with the opportunity, we should have delivered measurable and lasting improvements in the lives of the people of Kaduna State, including:
- 1

Equity, Fairness and Justice in Governance with decisions, public resources and development opportunities distributed transparently and more equitably across communities and segments of the population.
