AAC Requests Use of Presidential Villa for Campaign Event

The African Action Congress (AAC) has formally requested President Bola Tinubu to permit the use of the Presidential Villa in Aso Rock, Abuja, for the inauguration of its Presidential Campaign Council scheduled for November 11, 2026. This request was made in a letter dated October 21, 2026, signed by the party's National Secretary, Oshiokhue Philip Ikpeminoghena.

The AAC is also asking for government assistance in providing food, drinks, and logistical support for approximately 5,000 participants expected to attend from various locations. The party's appeal is grounded in principles of political inclusiveness and equal treatment, asserting that public facilities should be accessible to all registered parties, not just the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The AAC challenges the Tinubu administration to demonstrate its commitment to fair governance. The announcement has sparked mixed reactions online, with some questioning the feasibility of the request and others supporting it as a legitimate expression of opposition.
