President Bola Tinubu, has officially launched his 2027 re-election ambition by purchasing the presidential nomination form and expression of interest forms of All Progressives Congress, APC in Abuja.
The N100 million fee for the forms was paid by his loyalists and support groups drawn from across the country.
APC National Organising Secretary, Sulaiman Argungu, presented the forms to James Faleke, who represented Tinubu and also a prominent figure in the Tinubu Support Group, TSG.
Speaking after the exercise, Faleke said the funds for Tinubu’s form were pooled by over a thousand contributors across Nigeria and not by any single individual or group.
“There is no one particular person that has done this. It is on behalf of all Nigerians. Just as we did pre-2023 election, I was also privileged to buy the form with some leaders. Here again, I am privileged to buy the form on behalf of all Nigerians, for our president, for our performing president”, he said.
He further expressed confidence that president that Tinubu will contest and win, “By the grace of God, he will contest and he will win the election.”
Speaking on the governorship form for Hamzat, Faleke said: “I am also privileged, with my friend here, Honourable Ajala, to pick the forms for the incoming governor of Lagos, Dr. Kadiri Obafemi Hamzat.”
“Those of us who contributed money to buy this form were more than 1,000 in Lagos. It is not just one person. All of us cannot come here and pick the form. Only representatives are sent. And I am also lucky to be one of those who have been sent.”
