Adams Oshiomhole, the APC presidential campaign’s mobilisation lead, says the party’s various factions support Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027. He considers disputes over campaign positions secondary and urges party members to mobilise voters, according to an interview with Arise Television.
Adams Oshiomhole, a Nigerian senator and mobilisation lead on the APC presidential campaign council, says the party’s various factions support Bola Tinubu’s bid for a second term in 2027. He dismissed concerns about internal disagreements in an interview broadcast on Friday morning on Arise Television, the Nigerian daily ThisDay reports.
Oshiomhole described tensions over appointments to the campaign team, youth leadership and the place of associated political currents as distractions. In his view, party members should be judged on their ability to mobilise voters at polling stations, in neighbourhoods and in local government areas, rather than on the positions they hold.
He also defended Tinubu’s decision to limit campaign rallies on Sundays. Oshiomhole recalled that before the 2023 presidential election, he had said he was willing to undertake any assignment, however important. The APC leader had previously said that Nigeria supported Tinubu’s re-election, according to an article published on 25 October on support for Tinubu’s re-election.
