Tinubu’s 2027 Campaign: APC Plans Rallies In 12 States, Lagos To Host Grand Finale

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has proposed a campaign schedule for President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections, with rallies planned across 12 locations covering Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones.

According to Bush Radio Academy, the proposed timetable indicates that the campaign will begin in Kaduna State on October 24, 2026, and conclude with a grand rally in Lagos State on January 9, 2027.

Other locations listed for the proposed campaign events include Port Harcourt in Rivers State, Jos in Plateau State, Ibadan in Oyo State, Maiduguri in Borno State, Enugu in Enugu State, Bauchi in Bauchi State, Sokoto in Sokoto State, Asaba in Delta State, Kano in Kano State and Yola in Adamawa State.

Under the proposed schedule, the Kaduna rally is expected to hold on October 24, followed by Port Harcourt on November 7, Jos on November 14 and Ibadan on November 21.

The campaign is then scheduled to move to Maiduguri on November 25, Enugu on November 28 and Bauchi on November 29. Sokoto is listed for December 4, Asaba for December 12 and Kano for December 17, 2026.

The proposed tour is expected to resume in the new year with a rally in Yola on January 4, 2027, before the grand finale in Lagos five days later. The schedule remains a proposed timetable for the President’s campaign activities.

Meanwhile, African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain Dele Momodu has questioned whether Nigerians can trust Tinubu to ensure a free and fair election in 2027.

Momodu made the remarks during an interview on Arise News’ Prime Time programme, claiming that even some of the President’s supporters have doubts about the credibility of the forthcoming election.

The veteran journalist argued that some Nigerians fear Tinubu might be unwilling to relinquish power if he loses the election, although he expressed confidence that citizens would insist on a peaceful transfer of power in accordance with the electoral outcome.

Momodu also claimed that political officeholders, including APC governors, legislators and members of the judiciary, were apprehensive about the possible outcome of the 2027 elections.

He said his confidence in the opposition’s prospects was not based solely on his party but also on what he described as growing dissatisfaction among ordinary Nigerians with the possibility of another Tinubu presidency.

The ADC chieftain maintained that political actors were working behind the scenes to challenge the President’s re-election bid, while declining to disclose what he described as their strategy.

Momodu further criticised what he portrayed as the reluctance of political leaders to openly challenge Tinubu, arguing that some were afraid to tell the President when it was time to leave office.

His comments have added to the political debate surrounding the 2027 elections, as parties prepare their campaigns and questions about electoral credibility, political competition and the peaceful transfer of power remain central to the national conversation.
