APC's 2027 Campaign Council Includes Opposition Leaders
On October 13, 2026, the All Progressives Congress (APC) released an expanded list for its 2027 Presidential Campaign Council, which included Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ademola Adeleke, the Osun State Governor from the Accord Party, and Chukwuma Soludo, the Anambra State Governor from the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA). Political analysts have expressed mixed views on this inclusion, with Prof. Hassan Saliu of the Nigeria Political Science Association suggesting it could boost morale for the ruling party.
Conversely, Isaac Mamkaa, a senior lecturer at the College of Education, Katsina-Ala, criticized the arrangement for raising concerns about party discipline and the enforcement of internal rules. Kuma Iorkaan, another political science lecturer, described the inclusion as unusual and warned of potential disharmony within the APC.
Despite these concerns, the PDP, APGA, and Accord Party have supported their members' roles in the APC's campaign council.
