The APC has released its revised Presidential Campaign Council list for 2027, naming FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and Governors Adeleke and Soludo as members. Read More:…
The All Progressives Congress has been reconstituting its Presidential Campaign Council ahead of the 2027 general election, a body that typically brings together serving and former governors, ministers, National Assembly members and party chieftains to coordinate the ruling party's electoral strategy across the states. Campaign council appointments are closely watched for what they reveal about shifting political alliances, as they often reward politicians who have aligned themselves with the party or signal efforts to woo influential figures from opposition camps ahead of an election cycle.
The inclusion of Wike, Adeleke and Soludo is notable because none of the three is a card-carrying APC member in the conventional sense: Wike remains a prominent figure in the Peoples Democratic Party despite serving in President Bola Tinubu's cabinet, while Adeleke and Soludo are state governors elected on the platforms of the PDP and the All Progressives Grand Alliance respectively. Their naming as state campaign coordinators underscores the fluid, transactional nature of Nigerian party politics, where cross-party cooperation at the executive level often coexists with formal allegiance to rival parties. Both Vanguard and Punch report the same revised list, though neither outlet's excerpt specifies the full membership, the criteria used for selection, or when the council is expected to begin active campaign work.
