Tinubu to Prioritize Governance, Skip Some APC Campaigns

President Bola Tinubu stated he would not attend every presidential campaign rally of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as he prioritizes governance ahead of the 2027 general election. This announcement was made during the inauguration of the APC presidential campaign council at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

Tinubu emphasized the need for his attention on national issues, stating, "Nigeria needs more attention now than ever before." He assured party members he would still communicate directly with Nigerians while they lead the campaign at various levels. Tinubu urged the campaign council to effectively convey the APC's policies and achievements, describing the inauguration as a renewal of the party's commitment to the electorate.

He charged council members with mobilizing voters in their wards to ensure electoral success in the upcoming election. The APC also announced an expanded list of its presidential campaign council, including notable figures such as Nyesom Wike, Ademola Adeleke, and Chukwuma Soludo.
