2027: Ambode, Orji Kalu, Afikuyomi, Others To Serve In APC Contact Mobilisation Committee

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has intensified its early preparations for the 2027 general elections by appointing former Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, Abia North Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, and former two-term Senator Tokunbo Afikuyomi to its newly formed contact mobilisation directorate. The prominent political figures are part of a broader 17-member specialized committee officially unveiled as part of the ruling party’s comprehensive Presidential Campaign Council structure.

The high-profile appointments signal a deliberate effort by the APC leadership to unify influential regional heavyweights and reconcile internal stakeholders. By bringing Ambode, Kalu, and Afikuyomi into the core team, the party intends to leverage their extensive networks to secure grassroots alignments across the critical South-West and South-East geopolitical zones.

Operating under the strategic umbrella of the campaign council, the committee is tasked with deploying nationwide outreach frameworks. This deployment aims to streamline party engagement, resolve localized friction, and translate the federal administration’s current economic policies into clear, impactful messages for local communities.

The team will work alongside the Campaign Director-General, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, and Council Secretary, Governor Hope Uzodimma, to build a solid political machinery ahead of the national polls. The tactical positioning of these seasoned politicians highlights the party’s early momentum as the official presidential race begins to take shape.
