APC Reveals Expanded Campaign Council for Tinubu's 2027 Bid

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has officially unveiled an expanded and revised Presidential Campaign Council for President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid. This announcement confirms an exclusive report by THEWILL that the President ordered the recall and reconstitution of the initial council due to discontent among senior party members.

The new campaign structure, detailed in a 13-page document signed by APC National Secretary, Senator Surajudeen Ajibola Basiru, significantly expands the initial framework established in August. Key figures in the revised council include Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo; Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu; and FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.

The council will be inaugurated on October 14, 2026, at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, at 11:00 a.m. President Tinubu serves as Chairman, with Vice President Kashim Shettima and APC National Chairman, Professor Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, as Vice Chairmen.

Former Zamfara State Governor, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, retains his role as Director-General of the campaign.
