The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) has directed ministers, political appointees and other party officials to attend 2027 campaign rallies only in their home states. The directive is set out in a circular and is presented as a way to improve coordination and focus campaign work at the grassroots level.
Multiple outlets report that the PCC links the decision to a “pyramid concept,” with officials concentrating on mobilisation in their polling units, wards and local government areas. The PCC also says the rallies are intended to help mobilise APC supporters and communicate President Bola Tinubu’s achievements to voters, while increasing the visibility of APC candidates contesting seats in state assemblies and federal legislative races.
Coverage is broadly consistent across the reports: all describe the same restriction on attendance to home states and frame it as targeted campaign management. Where outlets add detail, they focus on implementation—such as which roles are exempted or how directorates are expected to execute work plans and budgets—rather than on any differing underlying claim.
