Tinubu Appoints Yobe Governor for APC 2027 Campaign
President Bola Tinubu has appointed the Yobe State Governor as the Deputy Director-General (North) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in preparation for the 2027 presidential election. This appointment was confirmed by Yusuf Ali, the Focal Person for digital and strategic communication to the Yobe State government.
The governor's selection is indicative of President Tinubu's confidence in his political experience and grassroots mobilization capabilities. In his new role, the governor will coordinate APC campaign activities across all 19 northern states.
Additionally, Senate President Godswill Akpabio and Speaker Tajudeen Abbas have been assigned as Deputy Directors-General within the campaign council, which is tasked with driving the re-election efforts for the Tinubu-Shettima ticket. The northern region is crucial for the APC's re-election strategy, and the party is relying on experienced figures to consolidate support.
The governor's appointment is part of a broader strategy to enhance grassroots engagement ahead of the elections.
