AAC Seeks Tinubu’s Approval to Hold 2027 Campaign Council Inauguration at Presidential Villa

The African Action Congress (AAC) has written to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, seeking approval to inaugurate its Presidential Campaign Council at the Presidential Villa, Aso Rock, Abuja, on November 11, 2026, ahead of the 2027 general elections.

In a letter dated October 21, 2026, and signed by the party’s National Secretary, Oshiokhue Philip Ikpeminoghena, the AAC also requested food, drinks and other logistical support for 5,000 participants expected to attend the event from within Nigeria and abroad.

The party said the request was made in the spirit of multiparty democracy, political inclusiveness and equal treatment of political parties.

According to the letter addressed to the President, the AAC argued that granting its request would demonstrate the Presidency’s commitment to fairness and equal access to public institutions, regardless of political affiliation.

The party cited arrangements it said had reportedly been extended to the All Progressives Congress (APC) for a similar political engagement, arguing that its request should receive comparable consideration.

The proposed inauguration is expected to form part of the AAC’s preparations for the 2027 general elections.

The party also asked the Presidency to provide information on the procedures and conditions required for approval of the request.

The letter was signed by Ikpeminoghena on behalf of the AAC, which expressed hope that the President would give the request favourable consideration.

Former Lagos AAC Chairman Appointed Director in Sowore-Magashi 2027 Campaign Council

Ayoyinka Oni says he will serve as Director of Policy, Strategy and Political Affairs in the Sowore-Magashi 2027 Presidential Campaign Council.

Ayoyinka Oni, the immediate past chairman of the African Action Congress (AAC) in Lagos State, has announced his appointment as Director of Policy, Strategy and Political Affairs in the Sowore-Magashi 2027 Presidential Campaign Council.

Oni disclosed the appointment in a statement in which he described the role as a privilege and reaffirmed his commitment to the campaign to take Nigeria back.

“The work to take NIGERIA back never stopped, but again I say, let us begin,” he said.

The former Lagos AAC chairman also called on Nigerians, particularly young people, to participate actively in the 2027 general election and support the presidential ambition of Omoyele Sowore under the AAC.

Oni argued that the distribution of money, contracts and other opportunities by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) could not benefit the majority of Nigerians, urging those who feel excluded to join efforts to bring about political change.

He further called on young Nigerians to exercise their voting rights, claiming that their participation could determine the outcome of the election.

“Are you going to stand there or sleep there while some dull old people and hungry young people determine the trajectory of your life for the next four years and beyond? Your answer should be an affirmative NO,” Oni said.

He maintained that active participation in the electoral process could help Nigerians challenge vote-buying, political intimidation and electoral manipulation.

Oni concluded by urging supporters to mobilise behind the Sowore-Magashi 2027 campaign, using the slogans “Let us take Nigeria back” and “Vote AAC.”

AAC Lagos Thanks Members, Leaders and Candidates for Successful One Million March Campaign

The Lagos State chapter of the African Action Congress (AAC) has expressed appreciation to its members, leaders and candidates for their participation in the party’s flag-off and One Million March Campaign.

In a statement signed by the AAC Lagos State Chairman, Comr. Pst. Samson Olanrewaju, the party thanked members and comrades for their dedication, commitment, sacrifice and mobilisation efforts towards the event.

The party also commended its candidates who participated in the campaign, saying their presence and contributions helped make the event a success.

AAC Lagos said the outcome of the campaign demonstrated what could be achieved when its members and candidates worked together with a shared sense of responsibility and purpose.

The party urged its candidates to sustain the same level of cooperation, participation and commitment as the Lagos chapter continues its activities and preparations ahead.

The statement concluded with an appreciation to members and candidates for their support and sacrifice, with the party reaffirming its message: “Together, we move forward.”

2027 Election: ‘70–80% of My Government Will Be For Youths’ — AAC Lagos Guber Candidate

The African Action Congress (AAC) governorship candidate in Lagos State, Engr. Adedamola Ade-Soca Sol-Nuyi, has promised that Nigerian youths will make up between 70 and 80 per cent of his proposed government if elected governor in 2027.

Sol-Nuyi made the promise on Saturday, October 3, 2026, during the party’s campaign flag-off and one-million-man match in Lagos.

Addressing supporters at the event, the AAC candidate urged Nigerian youths, especially Lagosians not to allow anyone to make them feel worthless, promising to prioritize their participation in governance.

The AAC candidate made youth participation a central part of his address, promising that young Nigerians would occupy between 70 and 80 per cent of positions in his proposed administration if he becomes governor.

“I am telling Nigerian youth once again, when we become the governor, by the grace of God, 70 to 80 percent of our government will be Nigerian youths,” Sol-Nuyi said.

He urged young people not to allow anyone to convince them that they were worthless or incapable of contributing meaningfully to society and governance.

Sol-Nuyi also outlined areas he said would receive attention under an AAC government, including housing, food, education and road infrastructure.

He promised that the party would invest in housing policies aimed at making accommodation more affordable, while also pursuing measures to improve access to food and what he described as quality free education.

The candidate further pledged to improve road networks across Lagos, saying the proposed policies were intended to improve living conditions for families and create an environment where young Nigerians could build their lives with greater dignity.

“So our children can live like Nigerians even in their father’s land and not like slaves,” he said.

The AAC candidate also criticized the APC governorship candidate and incumbent Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Obafemi Hamzat, over a comment he made in a video concerning youths who cannot afford rent. In the video referenced by Ade-Soca Sol-Nuyi, Hamzat told youths who could not afford rent to return to their parents’ homes.

Reacting to the comment, the AAC candidate said Hamzat and the APC would be voted out of the Lagos State Government House in 2027.

“Don’t worry, they will be the ones to pack their loads out of our Government House in 2027 because we are going to march forward until victory is ours,” he said.

The comments come as political parties and candidates intensify their mobilization ahead of the 2027 Lagos State governorship election.

AAC Lagos Chairman Clarifies: Some-Fun Remains Lagos West Senatorial Candidate

The Chairman of the African Action Congress (AAC) in Lagos State, Comrade Samson Olanrewaju, has clarified that Alfred O. Some-Fun remains the party’s candidate for the Lagos West Senatorial District ahead of the 2027 elections.

Olanrewaju reached out to Shemariah Media to clarify reports that circulated following the leakage of an internal communication concerning the suspension and withdrawal of Some-Fun’s candidacy.

According to the Lagos AAC Chairman, the communication was from an internal candidates’ group and had not been authorised by the Lagos State leadership for public circulation or treated as a final decision on Some-Fun’s candidacy.

He explained that the information subsequently circulated outside the group was therefore not an authorised final position of the Lagos State leadership.

Olanrewaju’s clarification establishes that Some-Fun continues to hold the AAC ticket for the Lagos West Senatorial District.

The clarification follows an earlier report suggesting that Some-Fun had been suspended and his candidacy withdrawn, which generated discussions about his status within the party.

In a separate communication previously circulated by the AAC Lagos West chapter, the chapter also stated that the circulated suspension and withdrawal publication should not be regarded as the official position of the party pending clarification through the appropriate structures, while indicating that Some-Fun remained the AAC Lagos West candidate.

The latest clarification from the Lagos State Chairman further addresses the controversy and provides the party’s position as communicated directly to Shemariah Media.

Shemariah Media understands that the earlier communication should therefore not be treated as a final withdrawal of Some-Fun’s candidacy, following the clarification from the Lagos State party leadership.

AAC Lagos West Chapter Disowns Circulated Suspension Notice, Says Some-Fun Remains Candidate

The Lagos West Senatorial District chapter of the African Action Congress (AAC) has distanced itself from a recently circulated publication announcing the suspension of Comrade Alfred O. Some-Fun and the withdrawal of his candidacy for the Lagos West Senatorial District ahead of the 2027 general elections.

In a press release signed by Comr. Ayinde Olawale, Deputy Chairman of the Lagos West Senatorial District of the AAC, the chapter said the circulated publication should not be regarded as an official position or communication of the party pending proper clarification and confirmation through its appropriate structures.

The chapter advised members of the public, party members, supporters, candidates and other stakeholders to disregard any unverified information concerning the purported suspension or withdrawal of Some-Fun’s candidacy until an official statement is issued by the duly authorised party leadership.

The statement further maintained that Some-Fun remains the AAC candidate for the Lagos West Senatorial District for the 2027 general election, pending any duly authorised communication through the party’s appropriate channels.

The Lagos West chapter said the AAC remains committed to due process, internal party procedures, discipline, transparency, accountability and respect for the established structures of the party.

It also urged party members, supporters and members of the public to rely solely on official communications from the appropriate party authorities and refrain from circulating unverified information capable of creating confusion, misunderstanding or division.

“Any further clarification, where necessary, will be communicated through the appropriate official channels,” the statement said.

The development comes after a separate statement purportedly announcing the immediate suspension of Some-Fun and withdrawal of his candidacy was circulated publicly.

The latest press release, however, says that publication should not be treated as an official communication pending clarification through the AAC’s authorised structures.
