Faleke Secures ₦100 Million APC Nomination Forms for Tinubu’s 2027 Re-Election Bid

James Faleke, a prominent member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has officially picked up the party’s presidential nomination and expression of interest forms on behalf of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The forms, reportedly valued at ₦100 million, were obtained today, signaling an early and strategic move to position President Tinubu for a potential re-election bid in 2027. Faleke, who currently serves as a federal lawmaker and is widely regarded as a loyal ally of the president, stated that the gesture reflects strong support within party ranks for Tinubu’s continued leadership.

Speaking after obtaining the forms, Faleke emphasized that President Tinubu’s administration has laid a solid foundation for economic reform and national development, warranting continuity beyond his first term. He highlighted ongoing policy initiatives and structural reforms as key achievements that supporters believe should be sustained.

The development comes amid growing political conversations about the 2027 elections, even as the current administration continues to navigate economic challenges and implement reforms. Analysts view the early procurement of nomination forms as both symbolic and strategic, potentially aimed at consolidating internal party support and discouraging opposition within the APC.

While President Tinubu has not yet made a formal declaration regarding his intention to seek re-election, today’s move by Faleke may be interpreted as a strong indication of the president’s backing among influential party stakeholders.

As political activities gradually intensify across the country, all eyes will be on the APC and other major parties to see how early alignments and endorsements shape the road to 2027.
