Tinubu Reviews APC 2027 Campaign Council Membership

The Bola Tinubu administration is undertaking a review of the All Progressives Congress (APC) 2027 Presidential Campaign Council membership due to concerns over omissions, controversial inclusions, and other anomalies. This review follows immediate reactions from APC members, opposition politicians, and stakeholders ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

Tinubu is expected to chair the council, with Vice President Kashim Shettima and APC National Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda as Vice Chairmen I and II, and Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma as Secretary. The leadership structure is not anticipated to change, but some members may be removed or added before the council's inauguration.

Concerns include the inclusion of individuals facing financial impropriety allegations, the omission of experienced political figures, and accidental exclusions. Notable names attracting criticism include Betta Edu and Ngozi Olejeme, both facing allegations from their previous public office roles.

The review also addresses the absence of experienced politicians like Festus Keyamo.
