Tinubu’s 2027 APC campaign council includes cross-party figures Wike, Soludo and Adeleke

Ahead of the 2027 elections in Nigeria, opposition leader Atiku Abubakar has reacted to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s revised APC campaign council.

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, alongside Governors Charles Soludo of Anambra and Ademola Adeleke of Osun, attended the inauguration of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council in Abuja on Wednesday.Despite belonging to different political parties, the trio were named campaign coordinators in their respective states and the FCT, according to a list released on Tuesday.Speaking at the event held at the State Banquet Hall, APC National Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda praised the party’s organizational strength, noting its extensive structure across the country.“No political party in Nigeria has our structure. We have over 261,000 party executives, from the national to the ward levels,” Yilwatda said.He added that the APC currently has 31 governors, with additional support from leaders in Accord and APGA, describing the coalition as evidence of the party’s broad political reach.Yilwatda also commended President Bola Tinubu’s administration, highlighting what he called visible achievements in policies and projects within its first three years.The inauguration was attended by Tinubu, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Speaker of the House of Representatives Tajudeen Abbas, lawmakers, governors, and other political figures.

Senate President Godswill Akpabio and Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele have hailed the composition of President Bola Tinubu’s All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, describing it as a landmark coalition that reflects inclusivity ahead of the 2027 general elections.Speaking during plenary, Bamidele noted that the council’s structure, bringing together leaders from different political parties signals a “rainbow coalition” that could foster unity and strengthen democratic values.“In the best interests of the Nigerian people, a rainbow coalition indeed is on the move and very much on course,” Bamidele said.He highlighted the inclusion of figures such as Governor Chukwuma Soludo (APGA), Governor Ademola Adeleke (Accord Party), and Minister Nyesom Wike (PDP), who have been assigned key roles as state and regional coordinators.Akpabio echoed the sentiment, calling the arrangement “an uncommon development” in Nigeria’s democratic journey since 1999. He said the council’s composition demonstrates Tinubu’s intent to pursue a second term with an emphasis on national unity.“This is not just inclusive government in terms of infrastructure and reforms. It is also inclusive in terms of unity of purpose in democracy,” Akpabio stated.The Senate President added that contributions to governance should transcend party lines, noting that Soludo’s expertise as a professor and former Central Bank governor could enrich policy discussions.The Senate adjourned proceedings ahead of the campaign council’s inauguration, with Minority Leader Abba Moro seconding the motion.

He added that the party had 31 governors, alongside two supporting “wingers” from the Southwest and Southeast from Accord and APGA respectively. The post Wike, Soludo, Adeleke present at APC campaign council inauguration appeared first on Vanguard News.

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has expressed happiness over his inclusion in the campaign team for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election despite not being a member of the All Progressives Congress, APC.   Wike said Tinubu’s decision to accommodate individuals outside the ruling party showed that the president’s re-election campaign was not restricted to APC members but also included supporters willing to contribute to his victory.   The minister spoke on Tuesday during his monthly media parley in Abuja.   According to Wike, the president recognised that some individuals who were not members of the APC had contributions to make towards his re-election and decided to accommodate them.   “So my thinking is that the president said, look, there are those who are not members of our political parties, but have something to offer for his re-election, and it will be proper to accommodate them so that we are able to offer whatever they may call it,” he said.   Wike explained that the arrangement reflected cooperation between APC members and supporters of Tinubu, despite their different political affiliations.   “Some don’t want to see the word coalition, but if you see that word PBAT slash APC, were the members of the party, and supporters of Mr President working together to achieve one purpose,” he added.   The FCT minister cited Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo and Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke as examples of non-APC governors involved in coordinating support for Tinubu’s re-election.   “You can see Professor Soludo, Governor of Anambra State, who is the coordinator for Anambra State. You can see Governor Adeleke, who is not a member of APC, but the coordinator for Mr President, and then my humble self, who is not a member of APC, but a strong coordinator for the president in Rivers and the FCT,” Wike said.   He maintained that Tinubu’s re-election should be viewed as a broader political project involving people beyond the ruling party.   “It tells you that it’s not necessarily just APC. Like we are saying that the re-election of Mr President should not just be about the APC,” he said.   Wike added that the arrangement demonstrated that Tinubu had supporters across political divides who wanted him to remain in office.   “So that is giving holistic view that there are those who are ready for Mr President to be elected to continue the good work we think he is doing for Nigeria. Frankly speaking, we are happy to be part of it,” he said.   DAILY POST reports that Wike, a former governor of Rivers State, has remained a prominent supporter of Tinubu despite his continued association with the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

 Nyesom Wike, minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT); Ademola Adeleke, governor of Osun; and Chukwuma Soludo, governor of Anambra; have been included in the expanded presidential campaign council of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2027 general election. In the new list, which will be inaugurated by President Bola Tinubu at the presidential villa in Abuja on Wednesday, Wike was appointed coordinator of the party’s campaign in Rivers and the FCT. Soludo was appointed coordinator for Anambra, while Adeleke is named coordinator for Osun. Adegboyega Oyetola, minister of marine and blue economy, was named deputy national coordinator I for stakeholders’ mobilisation in the south-west. Wike is a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Soludo was re-elected for a second term in November 2025 on the platform of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), while Adeleke won his re-election on August 16 under Accord.   The APC had initially released the list on August 22, appointing Abdulaziz Yari, former governor of Zamfara, as director-general; while Senate President Godswill Akpabio; Tajudeen Abbas, speaker of the house of representatives; and Mai Mala Buni, governor of Yobe; were named deputy director-generals. However, in the new list, Akpabio, Abbas and AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, governor of Kwara, are appointed deputy vice-chairmen I, II and III, respectively, while Buni becomes deputy director-general I for the north. Barau Jibrin, deputy senate president, who was deputy director-general III for the north in the first list, becomes deputy director-general II for the region.  Opeyemi Bamidele, senate leader, and Benjamin Kalu, deputy speaker of the house of representatives, were appointed deputy director-generals I and II for the south, respectively. A notable difference in the new list is the appointment of all 32 APC governors as campaign coordinators for their respective states, while Sharafadeen Alli, the party’s governorship candidate in Oyo, was appointed coordinator for the state. For Bauchi, Mohammed Abubakar, the APC governorship candidate in the state, was appointed campaign coordinator, while Chijioke Chukwu, the party’s flagbearer in Abia, is coordinator for the state. Unlike the first list, the new one contains 14 advisers, including Bisi Akande, Segun Osoba, George Akume, secretary to the government of the federation; Florence Ita-Giwa, former Cross-River south senator; Ibikunle Amosun, former governor of Ogun; Iyiola Omisore, former APC national secretary; and Wale Edun, former coordinating minister of the economy, among others. On August 19, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) officially opened campaigns for the presidential and national assembly elections. The campaign window runs until January 14, 2027, according to INEC’s revised timetable. Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and Peter Obi, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, are among the major contenders in the 2027 presidential election alongside Tinubu.  See the expanded list of the APC campaign council.

Minister of Power Joseph Tegbe has launched efforts to rally All Progressives Congress (APC) members and stakeholders across Oyo State in support of President Bola Tinubu’s re-election and the success of other party candidates in the 2027 general elections.Tegbe began the statewide mobilisation in Ibadan on Sunday with strategic meetings involving party leaders, executives and community stakeholders from Ibadan South-East and Ibadan North Local Government Areas. He called for greater unity and intensified grassroots engagement ahead of the polls.“We must take this mobilisation to every ward and polling unit across Oyo State. Our victory in 2027 will depend on our ability to unite our members, engage the people and convince them of the benefits of continuity under President Tinubu,” Tegbe said.He argued that the President’s power sector reforms are starting to deliver improvements and expressed confidence that ongoing federal interventions will further enhance electricity supply and living standards.“We will spare no effort to ensure that President Bola Tinubu gets re-elected in 2027, and we are not going to stop at that, as all the candidates of our great party will get our full backing,” the minister added.Tegbe urged APC members in the state to set aside differences, close ranks and work together for electoral success.Highlighting federal projects in Oyo, he announced plans for solar mini-grids in various locations and said electrification projects in Ogbomoso, Oke-Ogun and Ibarapa are nearing completion. These initiatives, he said, aim to tackle long-standing power challenges and expand reliable electricity access, thereby boosting economic activities.“Our commitment is not just about politics; it is also about delivering tangible benefits to the people,” Tegbe noted.APC governorship candidate Sharafadeen Alli, who attended the meeting, expressed confidence in Tegbe’s ability to deliver on his mandate and called on party members to support the minister with prayers. Other party leaders present also reaffirmed their commitment to the party’s mobilisation efforts for 2027.    

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, has declared that internal party polls indicate President Bola Tinubu will win the 2027 presidential election.Speaking on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, Yilwatda said the ruling party had conducted surveys across the states and obtained statistics showing Tinubu leading potential challengers.“We have done fact-finding; we are leading. We have done our polls. We have our own polls that give us the real statistics across the states,” he stated.When asked whether the polls confirmed that Tinubu would emerge victorious, the APC chairman replied, “Of course!”Yilwatda expressed confidence that the APC would defeat the opposition, particularly the African Democratic Congress (ADC), whose presidential candidate is former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, and the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), which has Peter Obi as its candidate. He argued that the opposition parties had yet to demonstrate sufficient electoral strength, noting their limited success in recent contests ahead of 2027.     Comparing the incumbent with Atiku, Yilwatda described Tinubu as “far better” than the former vice-president. He also defended the administration’s economic reforms, saying the tax laws introduced under Tinubu have expanded the tax net, increased government revenue, and benefited the poorest Nigerians.

Abdulaziz Yari, director-general of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign council, says President Bola Tinubu’s re-election campaign will kick off in Kaduna on October 24.   Yari spoke with State House correspondents on Friday after meeting with Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, where he briefed the president on preparations for the campaign and the proposed schedule for state visits.   The former governor of Zamfara said the campaign council would hold its inaugural meeting on October 14 at the State House Banquet Hall, ahead of the campaign flag-off in Kaduna.   “The inaugural meeting is going to be done on the 14th of this month; that’s next Wednesday, at the State House Banquet Hall, and by God’s grace, on the 24th of October, we’re going to do our flag-off campaign in Kaduna,” Yari said.     He added that Tinubu had approved the proposed schedule for state visits, with Port Harcourt and Maiduguri next after Kaduna.   “We have outlined our state visits to each and every place where we will go, and the president has approved them. So, we are going to hit the ground running by the 24th of October,” he said.   Yari said the full schedule would be made public after the campaign council’s inauguration.     Asked about Tinubu’s chances in the 2027 elections against his key challengers, particularly Atiku Abubakar of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and Peter Obi of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Yari said the president had established a strong political foothold across the country.   He argued that winning the 2027 presidential election would require candidates to build support in both northern and southern Nigeria rather than rely on dominance in one region.   “If you have control of 80 percent of the south, if you don’t have anything in the north, you cannot make it. If you have 80 percent of control of the north, if you don’t have any state in the south, you cannot make it,” he said.   Yari cited former President Muhammadu Buhari’s electoral performance, arguing that strong support in the north had not initially translated into victory at the national level.     He claimed Tinubu had support in more than 10 states in the south and more than 10 in the north.   The campaign council director-general also recalled Tinubu’s past political ties with Atiku and Obi, saying the president had supported both politicians at different times.   “Allah used him to support Atiku some time back and, at the same time, to support Peter Obi. So, if Allah uses me to support you, there is no how Allah will use you to bring me down,” he said.   Yari also defended the Tinubu administration’s economic policies, saying the government had made progress in addressing the challenges it inherited.     “We are not promising. We are doing it, and we are going to continue,” he said.

The Director-General of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, has declared that President Bola Tinubu is firmly in control of more than 20 states and is well-positioned for victory in the 2027 presidential election.Speaking in Abuja after a meeting with the President at the State House, Yari said Tinubu’s re-election campaign organisation will be formally inaugurated on October 14 at the State House Banquet Hall, with the official flag-off scheduled for Kaduna on October 24. A nationwide tour of states has already been approved by the President.“The President asked for me to come and brief him on where we are, and to discuss the timetable for the state visits,” Yari stated. “By God’s grace, his team, I, and Mr President himself, we have agreed on how it’s going to be done.”He added that after Kaduna, the campaign would proceed to Port Harcourt in Rivers State and Maiduguri in Borno State, with the full itinerary to be released after the inauguration.Yari dismissed the prospects of opposition candidates, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and Peter Obi of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC). He argued that neither could claim control of any state outside their home regions, making a national victory impossible.“Can the ADC candidate today in the southern part of the country beat his chest and say he has control of one state in the South? And I don’t think Peter Obi… can beat his chest and say he has control of one state in northern Nigeria,” he said.Citing the late former President Muhammadu Buhari’s strong northern support in 2011 that still failed to deliver the presidency, Yari stressed that regional dominance alone is not enough. “Even if you have control of 80 per cent of the South, if you don’t have anything in the North, you cannot make it,” he noted.By contrast, he estimated that Tinubu controls more than 10 states in the South and more than 10 in the North. “This calculation shows us that… it is not rocket science,” Yari said.The former Zamfara governor maintained that the APC would campaign on the President’s record rather than fresh promises. “President Bola Tinubu, since the time he assumed office, has turned around the situation that he met on ground; still, the economy is moving… We are not promising. We are doing it, and we are going to continue.”Yari was appointed Director-General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council in August 2026.
