Tinubu Inaugurates APC Campaign Council, Urges Vote Delivery

On October 15, President Bola Tinubu inaugurated the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa in Abuja. He urged council members to secure votes in their respective wards for the upcoming 2027 general election, stating that their contributions would not be recognized until they deliver at the polls.

Tinubu expressed gratitude for the support received in the previous election and described the inauguration as a renewed commitment to Nigerians. He emphasized that the APC is prepared for the election and that the council's work is crucial.

While he acknowledged the importance of the campaign, Tinubu stressed that his responsibilities as head of state would take precedence, agreeing with party members who cautioned against allowing campaigning to distract him from governance. The council is chaired by Tinubu, with Vice-President Kashim Shettima and APC National Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda as vice-chairmen.

Other notable appointments include Senate President Godswill Akpabio and Speaker of the House of Representatives Tajudeen Abbas as deputy vice-chairmen, and Abdulaziz Yari as director-general.
