The All Progressives Congress (APC) has constituted a high-powered National Campaign Council for the forthcoming Ekiti State Governorship Election, with Kaduna State Governor, Senator Uba Sani, serving as Chairman of the council.
Governor Uba Sani was earlier appointed Chairman of the Campaign Council by the party on April 24, 2026, ahead of the election scheduled for June 20, 2026, by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The campaign council, unveiled by the APC National Secretariat at Buhari House, Abuja, comprises top party leaders, governors, ministers, federal lawmakers, and key political stakeholders across the country.
According to the document signed by the APC National Secretary, Senator Surajudeen Ajibola Basiru, President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio, will serve as Vice Chairman of the council.
Other prominent members include Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Tajudeen Abbas; Chief of Staff to the President, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila; Governors Hope Uzodimma, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, Babagana Zulum, Dapo Abiodun, Ahmed Aliyu, Mohammed Umaru Bago, and Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
Former governors Kayode Fayemi and Yahaya Bello, alongside ministers Dele Alake, Sunday Dare, and Bunmi Tunji-Ojo, were also named members of the council.
The APC further constituted strategic sub-committees on Election Planning and Management, Finance and Resource Mobilisation, Media and Publicity, Security, as well as Women and Youth Mobilisation to coordinate campaign activities ahead of the poll.
The composition of the council is a reflection of the importance the ruling party attaches to the Ekiti governorship election and a vote of confidence in Governor Uba Sani’s leadership and political mobilisation capacity.
