Senator Kawu Summaila has urged the APC Presidential Campaign Council led by Senator Abdulaziz Yari to prioritise grassroots mobilisation and strict adherence to the Electoral Act as it campaigns for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.
The council, with over 200 members, was constituted on Saturday to drive the President’s bid for a second term in the January 16, 2027 election.
In a statement issued on Sunday, Senator Kawu said the campaign must be rooted in legitimacy and public trust to succeed.
“Our campaign activities must strictly adhere to the provisions of the Electoral Act and the Constitution, ensuring our efforts are rooted in legitimacy and public trust,” he said.
He tasked the Yari-led team to clearly communicate the President’s policies, programmes and strategic vision so that Nigerians can recognize his commitment to national progress.
The lawmaker emphasized empathy as a key campaign tool, noting that everyday families are currently grappling with economic hardship from ongoing reforms.
“Our campaign must demonstrate that we truly feel their pain, understand their daily struggles, and are sincerely committed to delivering meaningful reliefs,” he stated.
Senator Kawu congratulated Senator Yari and other appointees on the council, and called for unity among party leaders and members at all levels to ensure victory for the APC in 2027.
