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.
