Tinubu Forms APC Campaign Council for 2027 Elections
President Bola Tinubu has announced the formation of a 223-member All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign council for the 2027 elections, with himself as chair and the Vice President as vice chairman. The council includes prominent figures such as Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, who will also serve as vice chairman, and Abdulaziz Yari, appointed as director-general.
Imo Governor Hope Uzodimma is designated as Secretary, while Senator Ajibola Bashiru and Hadiza Bala-Usman will serve as deputy and assistant secretaries, respectively. Key roles are filled by Senate President, Speaker Tajudeen Abbas, and Yobe State Governor Mai Mala Buni as deputy director-generals.
Senator Bamidele, a close ally of Tinubu, is appointed deputy director-general South II, alongside Senator Jibril Barau. The appointments reflect a strategic effort to unify APC stakeholders across Nigeria's geopolitical zones in anticipation of a competitive presidential race.
