An APC chieftain, Babafemi Ojudu, criticises the party’s newly released list of members for its presidential campaign council, saying it includes people he describes as “former sinners.” Ojudu’s comments follow the APC’s unveiling of a 108-member campaign council ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
According to Ojudu, public reactions question the inclusion of certain individuals, and he argues the list mixes people he characterises as “saints” and “former sinners,” as well as those who are reforming and those “still awaiting reform.” He also says some names inspire confidence while others require checks, adding that the campaign should not be seen as offering political sanctuary to every controversial figure.
While both outlets report the same core details—APC’s list size, the timing ahead of 2027, and Ojudu’s critique—they frame the controversy through his remarks rather than providing independent verification of any specific persons on the council or their prior conduct. Neither outlet cites an official APC response to the criticism.
