APC PCC Exclusion Sparks Concern Among Agency Leaders

On October 1, 2026, Directors-General of Agencies and Parastatals of Government (MDAs) voiced their concerns regarding their exclusion from the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council (APC PCC) during a meeting with the party's national chairman, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda. Led by Dr Kazeem Raji, the Forum of Chief Executives of Federal Parastatals highlighted their strategic role in supporting President Bola Tinubu during the last general elections and expressed disappointment at being sidelined ahead of the upcoming January Presidential election.

Otunba Biodun Ajiboye, Director-General of the National Institute of Cultural Orientation, referred to the forum as an Independent Campaign Council and stressed the need for a supplementary platform to enhance media and election management. Dr Raji asserted that their group could deliver 10 million votes for Tinubu.

In response, Professor Yilwatda urged the forum members to justify their appointments by ensuring a fresh mandate for Tinubu and emphasized their responsibility to communicate the government's achievements to the public.
