President Bola Ahmed Tinubu appoints Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun as Director of Fundraising for the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 general elections. The appointment appears in a full list of council members released by the Presidency.
Tinubu chairs the campaign council, with Vice President Kashim Shettima and APC National Chairman Professor Nentawe Yilwatda as vice chairmen. Other leadership roles reported include Abdulaziz Yari as Director-General, Hope Uzodimma as Secretary, and Ajibola Bashiru and Hadiza Bala-Usman in deputy secretary and assistant secretary positions. The reports also outline additional directorates and zonal or regional deputies covering areas such as mobilisation, election planning, legal affairs, and media and strategic communications.
Across the two outlets, the core details align on Abiodun’s fundraising mandate and the council’s composition and release timing. The Daily Post Nigeria focuses more narrowly on Abiodun’s appointment, while Nigerian Eye provides a broader roster and additional specific roles within the campaign structure. Both reports state that Tinubu instructs council members to work toward securing an APC victory in 2027.
