The political landscape in Nigeria is heating up as preparations for the 2027 general election gather momentum, with a senior ruling party figure officially advancing President Bola Tinubu’s second-term ambition.
A prominent member of the ruling party, James Faleke, on Monday picked up the N100 million presidential nomination forms on behalf of President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 election.
The development signals the formal entry of Tinubu’s re-election campaign into the nomination phase under the banner of the All Progressives Congress (APC), the country’s ruling party.
Party officials and supporters say the move is part of early mobilisation efforts to consolidate support ahead of what is expected to be a highly competitive election cycle.
The APC has not yet released an official statement detailing further campaign activities, but the purchase of nomination forms marks a key procedural step in Nigeria’s electoral process.
Tinubu, who assumed office in 2023, is widely expected to seek a second term, setting the stage for intensified political activity across the country in the coming months.
