2027: APC Names Wike, Adeleke, Soludo in Presidential Campaign Council
The revised council adds prominent opposition figures and assigns all 32 APC governors to state-level campaign coordination.
The All Progressives Congress announced a revised Presidential Campaign Council for the 2027 general elections, appointing Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike, Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo, and Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke as regional coordinators.
This expanded list follows an August controversy over the council's composition; the Presidency clarified that the initial list remained valid, though adjustments were necessary to complete the campaign structure and constitute remaining subcommittees.
All 32 APC governors were appointed as state campaign coordinators, while the party additionally named 14 advisers to support mobilisation and stakeholder engagement efforts across the federation.
The appointments are notable because Wike remains a member of the Peoples Democratic Party , while Soludo belongs to the All Progressives Grand Alliance , demonstrating cross-party collaboration for the campaign.
APC National Secretary Senator Ajibola Basiru confirmed the council will be inaugurated on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
