The Allied Peoples’ Movement (APM) reacts to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s newly constituted campaign council ahead of the 2027 presidential election by describing it as “dead on arrival.” APM says the council is made up of “yes men” and politically discredited figures, and argues that it is unlikely to succeed.

APM frames its criticism as evidence of the Tinubu administration’s declining popularity and limited ability to attract credible political players. In a statement, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Abubakar Yusuf, presents the council as reflecting broader weaknesses in the government’s standing as the election approaches. Other reporting similarly repeats that APM’s position is that the campaign structure will fail.

Taken together, the outlets agree that APM has publicly questioned the council’s credibility and prospects, but they do not provide further details about the council’s membership, mandate, or any response from the Tinubu campaign or government officials.
