A member of the House of Representatives representing Ikeja Federal Constituency, James Faleke, has obtained the Expression of Interest and Nomination forms of the All Progressives Congress for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
The forms were presented on Tuesday in Abuja by the APC National Organising Secretary, Suleiman Argungu, marking the official commencement of the party’s nomination process.
Faleke, who is also the founder of the Tinubu Support Groups, received the documents on behalf of the President. The purchase of the forms—valued at ₦100 million—is widely seen as a clear signal of Tinubu’s intention to seek a second term in office.
Meanwhile, the Independent National Electoral Commission has announced key dates for the 2027 general elections. Presidential and National Assembly elections are scheduled for January 16, 2027, while governorship and State Houses of Assembly polls will hold on February 6, 2027.
INEC also disclosed that party primaries, including the resolution of disputes, will take place between April 23 and May 30, 2026.
Campaigns for presidential and National Assembly elections are expected to begin on August 19, 2026, while governorship and state assembly campaigns will commence on September 9, 2026.
The developments signal the early buildup to the 2027 elections as political activities begin to gather momentum nationwide.
