2027: APC Leaders, Others Rally Supporters As Tinubu Inaugurates Campaign Council

Leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and politicians from other parties have declared support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid, pledging to mobilise voters for his second term in office.

They made their positions known on Wednesday at the State House Conference Centre in Abuja, where Tinubu inaugurated the APC Presidential Campaign Council.

The speakers praised the President’s performance since assuming office in 2023, particularly his economic reforms, and expressed support for the continuation of his administration’s policies.

Present at the inauguration alongside Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima were Senate President Godswill Akpabio; Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin; Speaker of the House of Representatives Tajudeen Abbas; Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu; Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma, who chairs the Progressive Governors Forum; and APC National Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda, among other senior government and party officials.

Also in attendance were Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike. The three politicians belong to parties other than the APC and are among the prominent figures backing Tinubu’s re-election bid.

What They Said

Vice President Kashim Shettima

“President Tinubu deserves a second term because the work has applied momentum that Nigeria cannot afford to squander. We must protect the reforms, improve the execution and carry their benefits from the treasury to the households.”

Senate President Godswill Akpabio

“Tonight, mine is to say thank you for this wonderful gathering. You are about to inaugurate us as your presidential campaign council, I assure you as one of them that we will do our best to carry the message of your transformation, message of your love, message of your unity of Nigeria to all and sundry.”



Speaker of the House of Representatives Tajudeen Abbas

“We will campaign constituency by constituency, ward by ward, street by street, door to door. The first term confronted instability, the second term must consolidate. The first term laid the foundation, the second term must complete the structure. The first term expanded public revenue, the second term must turn revenue into public value. Nigeria has paid the price of reform, Nigeria must now receive the dividend of consolidation.”

Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma

“We have come to tell you (Tinubu) that we are proud of what you have done with the mandate that Nigerians gave to you in 2023.”

Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo

“We in APGA believe in the unity of Nigeria, we believe in the security of Nigeria, we believe in the shared prosperity of Nigeria and that is part of the reason why we are throwing our weight behind the president who symbolises these three pillars for the now Nigeria and Nigeria of tomorrow.”

FCT Minister Nyesom Wike

“To reconfirm that never in our political history that a president has had the kind of support, encouragement to say that Nigerians indeed will want you back to complete the good works you have started.”

Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke

“I am the light and the light is here. I can feel the victory coming in 2027. Nobody can stop this movement, I am ready to lead this movement. We are going to sing, we are going to dance all the way back to Aso Rock.”

APC National Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda

“We will ask Nigerians to support the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027 because we believe he is the most credible among all the candidates presented.”



The Campaign Council

Tinubu will serve as chairman of the Presidential Campaign Council, with Shettima and Yilwatda as first and second vice chairmen, respectively.

Former Zamfara State Governor, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, has been named Director-General, while Uzodimma will serve as secretary.

The expanded council includes political figures from outside the APC, among them Wike of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Soludo of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and Adeleke of the Accord Party.

The council is expected to coordinate campaign activities, drive political mobilisation, oversee strategic communications and engage voters nationwide on the administration’s record and policy priorities.
