Tinubu appoints Ogun Governor Abiodun as APC 2027 fundraising director

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Ogun State Governor Prince Dapo Abiodun as Director of Fundraising for the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council ahead of the 2027 general elections. The appointment was contained in the council list released by the Presidency on Saturday, August 22, 2026, and reported by Daily Post on August 24. Tinubu will serve as council Chairman, with Vice President Kashim Shettima and APC National Chairman Professor Nentawe Yilwatda as Vice Chairmen. Former Zamfara Governor Senator Abdulaziz Yari is Director-General, while Imo State Governor Senator Hope Uzodimma acts as Secretary.

This structure shows the APC’s early mobilization for 2027, placing a sitting governor in charge of fundraising—a critical function that will determine the party’s financial capacity to compete. Abiodun's role signals trust in his ability to mobilise resources from donors, party faithful, and corporate interests ahead of a highly contested election.

Key appointments include Senate President Godswill Akpabio and Speaker Tajudeen Abbas as Deputy Directors-General for the South and North, and former Osun Governor Chief Bisi Akande as an adviser. Fundraising efforts are expected to intensify immediately, with outreach to party members and potential donors. Will this well-funded machinery translate into electoral victory, and how will it shape your view of APC's readiness for 2027?
