An opinion piece criticizes the inclusion of heads of critical state institutions in campaign councils for the 2027 elections, particularly within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). While parties are free to involve influential members, the author argues that having strategic technocrats in such roles raises propriety concerns. The piece suggests that even if no constitutional breaches occur, the practice may undermine public trust in the impartiality of state institutions. It calls for a distinction between political appointees and technocrats in campaign activities.
