Tinubu meets APC governors days after unveiling 2027 campaign council

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Thursday met with 31 APC governors at the State House in Abuja as the ruling party intensifies preparations for the 2027 general elections. The governors, under the Progressives Governors’ Forum, held a closed-door meeting with the President after attending the National Economic Council session chaired by Vice President Kashim Shettima.  

The agenda of the meeting was not immediately disclosed, but the engagement came days after the APC unveiled its 2027 Presidential Campaign Council, with former Zamfara State Governor Abdulaziz Yari appointed Director-General and Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma named Secretary.  

The meeting also comes amid efforts by the APC to strengthen its structures ahead of the 2027 election, including plans to resume nationwide electronic membership registration on August 31.
