APC forms 2027 Presidential Campaign Council for Tinubu

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has officially constituted its Presidential Campaign Council to support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in the January 2027 general elections. President Tinubu will serve as the Chairman of the council, with Vice President Kashim Shettima and APC National Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda acting as Vice Chairmen.

Key appointments include Senator Abdulaziz Yari as Director-General and Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma as Secretary. Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has been named the South-West Zonal Campaign Coordinator, while Governor Dapo Abiodun will serve as the Director of Fundraising.

The council's formation has drawn various reactions. While some party members in Delta State have praised the appointments, women with disabilities have petitioned the party over their exclusion from the council. Additionally, political analysts note that appointing Yari, a former governor with independent resources, may serve to reduce the presidency's reliance on sitting state governors for campaign funding.
