The inauguration took place on Wednesday at the State House Conference Centre in Abuja, bringing together senior government officials, party leaders and political figures from other parties, including Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke and Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo.
Tinubu urged the council to remain focused on campaigning while ensuring that governance continued without interruption. He said Nigeria still required his attention and called on party members to work towards delivering votes across their respective constituencies.
Vice-President Kashim Shettima criticised opposition figures Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi over their economic proposals, while APC leaders highlighted infrastructure projects and government reforms as key campaign messages.
The party’s national chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda, urged campaigners to communicate the administration’s achievements while acknowledging challenges affecting Nigerians, including the cost of living, insecurity, unemployment, education and healthcare.
However, Atiku’s camp criticised the expanded council, arguing that political alliances could not erase citizens’ economic difficulties. Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde’s campaign organisation also questioned the administration’s record.
The APC says the council will coordinate nationwide mobilisation ahead of the 2027 election, as competing political groups prepare to challenge the President’s bid for a second term.
