The article discusses plans by the All Progressives Congress (APC) party in Nigeria to organize and coordinate support groups for President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 elections. The party's chairman, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, announced that they would identify and streamline the many independent support groups that have formed to avoid confusion and ensure a unified campaign message. During a meeting in Kano, Yilwatda's adviser explained that there are many groups supporting Tinubu, but without coordination, they sometimes send mixed messages. To fix this, the APC plans to verify each group's membership and leadership and create a central database to keep track of them. Only groups that meet the party's standards will be officially recognized. Additionally, the South West Mandate Group (SWMG) has called for a review of Senator Ali Modu Sheriff’s role in the campaign council due to concerns about his past. They emphasized that their request is based on strategic and reputational reasons, not because they consider him guilty of any wrongdoing, as Sheriff has denied the allegations against him.
