APC 2027 Campaign Council Reshuffles Leadership, Names Mobilisation Directors

The PBAT/APC 2027 Presidential Campaign Council has announced changes to its leadership structure, including the creation of a Directorate of Stage Organisation and Management ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Imo State Governor and council secretary, Hope Uzodimma, announced the appointments in a statement on Monday, saying the changes were aimed at improving coordination, strengthening the council’s organisational structure and enhancing operational efficiency.

Under the new arrangement, Farouk Aliyu was appointed Director of the Directorate of Stage Organisation and Management, with Adejare Bello named as co-director.

The council also appointed Minister of Youth Development Ayodele Olawande as Director of Youth Mobilisation, while Dayo Israel will serve as his deputy.

For women mobilisation, Mary Aille Idele was named director, with Betta Edu appointed deputy director and Imaan Suleman designated as secretary.

Uzodimma said the appointments formed part of efforts to establish a coordinated and inclusive campaign structure capable of mobilising support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.

He added that the appointees were expected to bring their experience and organisational skills to their respective positions while working with other directorates to implement the council’s campaign and mobilisation plans.

The leadership changes come as the ruling All Progressives Congress intensifies preparations for the 2027 presidential election, with youth and women mobilisation identified as important components of its campaign strategy.

The effectiveness of the new structure will depend on how well the appointed officials coordinate their activities and translate the council’s mobilisation plans into broader support for the President’s re-election campaign.
