APC Campaign Council List Not Withdrawn, Says Presidency

The Presidency says the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council list for the 2027 election remains valid, but may be adjusted where necessary. Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Media and Public Communication, Sunday Dare, made this known on Wednesday. Dare was responding to reports that the list had been withdrawn following controversy over the inclusion and exclusion of some party leaders and political figures. He said the list had not been withdrawn, explaining that the APC was yet to constitute all the subcommittees that would form part of the campaign structure. The APC had also rejected reports of the list’s withdrawal on Tuesday.

The campaign council list, announced over the weekend, names President Bola Tinubu as chairman, with Vice-President Kashim Shettima and APC National Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda as vice chairmen. Former Zamfara Governor and Senator Abdul’aziz Yari was named Director-General, while Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma was designated secretary. Dare said additional names could be accommodated through the subcommittees, stressing that the list was not cast in stone. He, however, rejected the description of the changes as a review, saying they amounted only to “adjustments where necessary” rather than a wholesale overhaul of the campaign structure.
