Tinubu Secures APC Ticket for 2027 Presidential Election

In a significant development, President Bola Tinubu has emerged as the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2027 general election. The outcome was determined through the party's presidential primaries, which took place across the nation on Saturday, May 23. These primaries were conducted in all 8,809 wards spread across the 774 local government areas of the country, ensuring a comprehensive representation of party members' preferences. President Tinubu's candidacy was contested by Stanley Osifo, a prominent figure within the APC from Edo State. Following his victory, President Tinubu was formally presented with the Certificate of Return and the party's flag, symbolizing his status as the APC's flagbearer for the 2027 presidential election. This development marks a crucial step in the lead-up to the 2027 general election, as President Tinubu prepares to represent the APC on the national stage.
