The All Progressives Congress (APC) has debunked claims that it plans to print a single presidential nomination form exclusively for President Bola Tinubu, thereby shutting out other aspirants from the party’s ticket ahead of the 2027 election. Speaking at a news conference on Wednesday in Abuja, the party’s National Organising Secretary, Alhaji Sulaiman Argungu, clarified that although the National Working Committee (NWC) and several state chapters have endorsed Tinubu as their preferred candidate, the nomination process remains open to all interested contenders. He said; “It will be the wish of the party, and we, the NWC of the party, have already endorsed President Tinubu as the next presidential candidate of the party. And by extension, other organs have equally done the same thing. “Governors in the states have done the same, too. It has also been replicated in all six geographical zones of the country. But it does not mean that the door is closed. “We will definitely not close our doors. When the time comes, our timetable will be made known. Anybody who wants to aspire for the presidency under the APC will not be denied the opportunity to purchase the expression of interest and nomination forms to exercise their franchise. “We never said we had locked the door. We are only telling people that we appreciate what the President is doing for the people of the country and that he deserves a second term in office when we roundly endorsed him recently.” “Democracy does not permit dictatorship. While the majority of our members have endorsed President Tinubu, any other aspirant who wishes to contest under the APC platform will still be allowed to do so”. He further assured that the APC would continue to abide by the Independent National Electoral Commission’s INEC timetable and the provisions of the Electoral Act to ensure a credible and inclusive selection process.
