APC chieftain Ojudu criticizes Tinubu's 2027 campaign council list as containing 'former sinners'
APC chieftain Babafemi Ojudu criticized the party's newly unveiled 108-member presidential campaign council for the 2027 election, stating it includes 'saints and former sinners, the tried and the tired' and questioning the inclusion of controversial figures. DAILY POST reported the list was released Saturday ahead of next year's poll.
Ojudu argued that a campaign seeking Nigerians' confidence should not appear to offer political sanctuary to individuals who can merely command convoys, finance rallies, or mobilize support. His Facebook statement highlighted concerns that the council contains both reformers and those 'still awaiting reform,' with some names inspiring confidence while others prompt 'a quick check on one's wallet.'
The criticism exposes internal APC tensions over candidate selection as the party prepares for the 2027 presidential race. With elections approaching, voters must weigh how such internal controversies might affect the party's credibility and policy direction. Does Ojudu's critique signal genuine reform efforts within APC, or is it merely factional politics ahead of the campaign?
