Tinubu Picks Reelection Forms Ahead Of 2027 Showdown
By Rotela Oguns
In what appears to be a form of gratitude to his benefactor and political godfather the lawmaker representing Ikeja Federal Constituency, James Faleke, has purchased the All Progressives Congress (APC) Expression of Interest and Nomination forms for President Bola Tinubu.
This is as Tinubu took a formal step towards the actualisation of his reelection bid in 2027.
Faleke obtained the forms during a ceremony held on Tuesday in Abuja. The APC National Organising Secretary, Suleiman Argungu, presented the documents after declaring the process open.
Faleke, who also leads the Tinubu Support Groups, completed the purchase of the forms valued at N100 million, signalling the early stages of the President’s re-election bid within the ruling party.
Recall that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has scheduled the presidential and National Assembly elections for January 16, 2027. Governorship and State Houses of Assembly elections are to follow on February 6, 2027.
The electoral body said party primaries, including the resolution of disputes, will hold from April 23 to May 30, 2026.
According to the electoral umpire, campaigns for presidential and National Assembly elections will begin on August 19, 2026, while those for governorship and state assembly contests will commence on September 9, 2026.
