According to the statement, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Speaker Tajudeen Abass, and Yobe State Governor Mai Mala Buni have been assigned as deputy director-generals for the campaign in the south and north respectively, working alongside Senator Bamidele Opeyemi and Senator Jibril Barau.

Five spokespersons have also been named, led by Dele Alake, alongside Alwan Hassan, Ayobami Oyalowo, Kemi Asekun-Shittu, and Adamu Fanda.
Tinubu has charged council members to work tirelessly to deliver victory for the party in the January 2027 elections, urging directorate leaders to reach out to party members not formally listed to join the campaign effort.
He said the administration has delivered on its promises and set the country on a path of economic progress, describing Nigeria as past its economic difficulties and on the cusp of reaping the benefits of a prosperous economy. He urged council members to showcase the party’s record and defeat what he called forces working to take the country backwards.
