APC Campaign Council Restricts Ministers, Members to Rallies in Home States

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Campaign Council has imposed a restriction on its ministers and members, limiting their attendance at rallies to their home states for the upcoming 2027 elections. According to Premium Times Nigeria, the council explained that this measure is intended to ensure effective coordination of campaign activities and strengthen grassroots mobilisation across the country. It is unclear when the council made this decision or if similar restrictions will be applied to other political parties. As Nigeria gears up for the 2027 general elections, political parties are expected to intensify their campaign strategies to secure votes. This restriction on ministers and members could potentially impact the APC’s campaign efforts, particularly in states where they have a strong presence. The APC, Nigeria’s ruling party, won the 2023 elections with a landslide victory, and their incumbent President, Muhammadu Buhari, will not be seeking re-election in 2027. It remains to be seen how this decision will affect the party’s chances in the upcoming elections.
