President Bola Tinubu announced members of the 2027 APC Presidential Campaign Council on Saturday, including former Zamfara Governor, during a public statement. The council includes key figures such as Yari, Uzodinma, and the Director General of the Campaign Council. This move comes as Tinubu faces internal challenges, including the suspension of three Permanent Secretaries over a fake agency discovered within the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.
Meanwhile, Tinubu’s re-election support group, Renewed Hope for Greater Nigeria, is set to launch its national campaign in Jos, Plateau State, on August 22, 2026. The campaign aims to bolster Tinubu’s chances ahead of the 2027 election. However, political tensions persist, with a defected Kwara senator revealing he left the APC due to disagreements over leadership and policy.
The President also expressed condolences following a fatal boat accident in Sokoto State, where 41 people were killed. Tinubu called for urgent reforms to improve waterway safety. His response has been echoed by other officials, who have joined in demanding action.
Political analysts note that Tinubu’s campaign efforts must navigate both internal party dynamics and external criticism, including recent accusations of economic mismanagement from opposition figures.
