The All Progressives Congress (APC) has included Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, and governors Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State and Ademola Adeleke of Osun State in its revised Presidential Campaign Council for the 2027 general elections.
The expanded council, chaired by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, features several prominent political figures, including Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, former Ogun State governors Ibikunle Amosun and Gbenga Daniel, former Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, and Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development Festus Keyamo.
Wike has been assigned to coordinate Tinubu’s re-election campaign in Rivers State and the Federal Capital Territory, while Adeleke will oversee the campaign in Osun State. Soludo has been named campaign coordinator for Anambra State, according to the revised list.
The inclusion of Wike, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Soludo of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), and Adeleke, who won re-election on the platform of the Accord Party, has drawn attention to the broad political composition of the campaign council. Their inclusion does not, in itself, indicate a change in their party affiliations.
Oborevwori has been appointed Director of Finance, while Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun and Zacch Adedeji, chairman of the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS), will coordinate fundraising for the campaign.
Other prominent figures on the revised list include Presidential Adviser on Policy and Coordination Hadiza Bala Usman, former House of Representatives member Patrick Obahiagbon, former Osun APC governorship candidate Bola Oyebamiji, and former APC National Legal Advisers Dr Muiz Banire and Babatunde Ogala.
The council also features businessman Ayiri Emami, Victor Giadom, Magnus Abe and former Ogun State Governor Gbenga Daniel.
In a statement, APC National Secretary Senator Ajibola Basiru confirmed that the council would be inaugurated on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
The revised council is expected to coordinate campaign activities, mobilisation, fundraising and other preparations for Tinubu’s re-election bid ahead of the 2027 general elections.
