The All Progressives Congress (APC) has begun organizing various directorates within its Presidential Campaign Council to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid for the 2027 general elections.

In late October 2026, the party launched the Directorate of Diaspora Mobilisation, led by Abike Dabiri-Erewa. This initiative focuses on a five-point strategy including digital advocacy, fundraising, and voter education among Nigerians living abroad. The directorate also seeks legislative changes to increase diaspora political participation.

Shortly thereafter, President Tinubu appointed Festus Keyamo to lead the Directorate of Air Mobilisation. This unit is tasked with managing air-movement logistics and travel for campaign officials across Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones. To support these operations, the President appointed aviation sector leaders Olubunmi Kuku and Farouk Ahmed Umar as deputy directors to ensure technical expertise and adherence to safety standards. According to a statement from Special Adviser Tunde Moshood, the unit will work alongside other APC campaign structures to maximize logistical resources while adhering to aviation regulations and electoral laws.
