The Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday held its inaugural meeting at the party’s national campaign secretariat.

Addressing newsmen after the meeting, the Director General of PCC, Sen. Abdulaziz Yari said all the directorates have been mandated to meet and come up with their work plan and how best they are going to carry out the responsibility ahead of them.

Yari who expressed confidence in the ability of the APC to win the forthcoming 2027 general elections said they’re are going to kickstart the nationwide campaigns beginning from Kaduna where the official flag off will take place on October 24.

The former governor of Zamfara state also told the PCC members to always remember that they were selected on their personal merits, and that each of them is a trustee of the president.

“This meeting is a short one. What we did, we directed the directorates to go and work to come up with their work plan and how best they are going to carry out this responsibility. We reminded them that we are all here on trust.

“Each and every person who sits down under this roof is a trustee of the president. The president trusted us and he gave us this responsibility.We must carry it out well and very, very well”.

The Director General equally used the opportunity to explain that the ongoing visitation to leading traditional rulers across the country is not for campaign, but to seek their blessings and prayers because of what they represent as the custodians of our culture and moral compass.

He added that the visit to the traditional institutions is very important because they’re very close to the people, hence the need to explain to them some the policies of the government and what informed them.

“We are still on with traditional rulers. As I said, we are visiting the royal fathers because we just seek for their blessing. We need their prayers. And being the authority closest to the masses of the country, we need to go and explain to them where we are and where we want to go.

“So the next is Kaduna, 24th of October, 2026. And then from there, the journey continues until 16th of January, 2027. At the end, by God’s grace, you know the result”.

The inaugural meeting was attended by all the heads of the directorates and their secretaries and some other members who were specifically invited due to their position on the council.
