The All Progressives Congress (APC) has released a revised list of its Presidential Campaign Council for the 2027 general elections.
The running party appointed the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, and Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State to key campaign positions.
According to APC, Wike is expected to coordinate the President’s re-election campaign in Rivers State and the FCT, while Adeleke has been named the campaign coordinator for Osun State.
The appointments were contained in a statement on Tuesday, which announced the inauguration of the campaign council for Wednesday, October 14, 2026, at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The revised list also names Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori as Director of Finance, while Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State and Zacch Adedeji, chairman of the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS), will coordinate fundraising.
Senator Ibrahim Dankwambo, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has been listed among the campaign council advisers alongside Obafemi George, who will also advise on media matters.
Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Benjamin Kalu has been appointed Deputy Director-General for South II, while Rivers State House of Assembly Speaker Martin Amaewhule will serve as South-South Deputy Coordinator for State Assemblies mobilisation.
Minister of Works David Umahi has also been named Deputy Director-General for Infrastructure and Sensitisation.
In the media and communications team, the list includes Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development Festus Keyamo, Abdulmumin Jibrin, Lere Olayinka, media aide to Wike, and Segun Sowunmi.
Former Super Eagles captain Joseph Yobo has been appointed Deputy Director for Sports Sector Mobilisation, while businessman Ayiri Emami will serve as Director of Special Duties.
Former Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, has been named Director of Stakeholder Mobilisation, while former Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola will coordinate stakeholder mobilisation in the South-West.
Senator Abdulaziz Yari retains his position as Director-General of the campaign council, with Senator Adams Oshiomhole serving as Deputy Director-General for Mobilisation and Femi Gbajabiamila as Deputy Director-General for Administration.
Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State also retains his position as secretary of the council. APC National Secretary Senator Ajibola Bashiru and Hadiza Bala-Usman will serve as deputy secretary and assistant secretary, respectively.
Dele Alake remains the campaign council’s spokesman, while James Faleke will oversee election planning, coordination and monitoring as Deputy Director-General.
The revised list follows controversy over the composition of the campaign council initially unveiled in August.
President Tinubu had constituted the council ahead of the 2027 general elections, with himself as chairman and Vice President Kashim Shettima as vice chairman. APC National Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda was also named a vice chairman.
Yari was appointed Director-General, while the initial list generated controversy over the inclusion and exclusion of some political figures and party leaders.
The Presidency had previously dismissed reports that the list was withdrawn for a comprehensive review, maintaining that it remained valid but could be adjusted where necessary.
Sunday Dare, Special Adviser to President Tinubu on Media and Public Communication, made the clarification during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily.
Dare explained that the campaign structure was still being developed and that additional names would be included in the subcommittees yet to be constituted.
“As it is with every other list, there’s a room for subcommittees. Those subcommittees have not been formed, and so many other names will come into that subcommittee,” he had said
