President Bola Tinubu has approved the All Progressives Congress presidential campaign timetable for the 2027 election. The decision followed a meeting with the council's Director-General, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Friday.

The campaign council will hold its inaugural meeting on Wednesday, October 14, at the State House Banquet Hall. The official flag-off rally is scheduled for October 24 in Kaduna State, according to Yari's briefing to State House correspondents.

“By God's grace, his team, I, and Mr President himself, we have agreed on how it's going to be done.”

After Kaduna, the campaign will move to Port Harcourt in Rivers State and then to Maiduguri in Borno State. Yari said the full itinerary of state visits will be released publicly after the council's inauguration on October 14.

Yari expressed confidence in the APC's electoral prospects, stating President Tinubu controls over 20 states nationwide. He argued that opposition candidates Atiku Abubakar of the African Democratic Congress and Peter Obi of the Nigeria Democratic Congress lack political control outside their respective regions.
