Tinubu appoints Gov Sanwo-Olu as 2027 campaign South-West coordinator

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has appointed Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos as the South-West zonal campaign coordinator for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election campaign.

The appointment is contained in a statement issued by the presidency on Saturday announcing members of the APC 2027 presidential campaign council.

Mr Tinubu will chair the council, with Vice-President Kashim Shettima as vice-chairman, while former Zamfara Governor Abdulaziz Yari will serve as director-general.

Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma will serve as secretary.

Mr Sanwo-Olu, who is also chairman of the South-West Governors’ Forum, will coordinate the party’s campaign activities across Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ondo and Ekiti states.

The governor is expected to work with APC leaders at the national, zonal and state levels to mobilise support for Mr Tinubu’s re-election and strengthen the party’s presence across the geopolitical zone.

Mr Sanwo-Olu served as chairman of the APC governorship campaign council in Ondo State during the 2020 and 2024 governorship elections, and the party secured victory.

As the APC South-West zonal campaign coordinator for Mr Tinubu’s re-election, Mr Sanwo-Olu is expected to lead engagements with stakeholders across political, labour, student, artisan, business and other groups in the South-West.

The assignment will also involve communicating the achievements of the Tinubu administration and mobilising citizens and party supporters toward an APC victory in the zone.
