APC denies withdrawal of 2027 presidential campaign council list

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has dismissed reports suggesting that the party has withdrawn its list of members nominated to serve on the 2027 Presidential Campaign Council.

The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, described the reports as rumours, urging party members, supporters and the public to disregard the speculation.

Morka made the clarification on Tuesday morning while responding to reports circulating that the APC had withdrawn the campaign council list shortly after it was released.

According to him, there has been no official decision to withdraw the list, stressing that any development regarding the composition of the council would be communicated through the appropriate party channels.

“Those are rumours. If there are any changes, we will announce them formally,” Morka said.

The clarification comes amid growing political activities within the ruling party ahead of the 2027 general elections, with various reports and speculations emerging over the structure and membership of the party’s presidential campaign machinery.

The reported campaign council list had generated considerable attention within political circles, particularly because of the prominent political figures and party leaders reportedly included in the structure.

The APC’s decision to publicly address the report underscores the sensitivity surrounding the composition of its 2027 campaign organisation as preparations for the next general elections gather momentum.

Morka’s statement also appears aimed at drawing a distinction between officially sanctioned decisions of the party and information circulating through unofficial channels.

The APC spokesperson advised members of the public to rely on formal statements from the party for information concerning the campaign council and other major political decisions.

He reiterated that where any adjustment is made to the list, the party would communicate such changes officially rather than through speculation or unverified reports.

The controversy comes as political parties across Nigeria intensify preparations for the 2027 elections, with internal consultations, strategic appointments and campaign structures expected to become increasingly prominent in the coming months.
