Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has been appointed as the South-West Zonal Campaign Coordinator for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election campaign. This announcement was made by the Presidency on Saturday, as part of the formation of the All Progressives Congress (APC) 2027 Presidential Campaign Council.

The campaign council will be led by President Tinubu himself, with Vice-President Kashim Shettima serving as Vice-Chairman. Former Zamfara Governor Abdulaziz Yari has been designated as the Director-General, while Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State will act as the Secretary.

In his new role, Sanwo-Olu, who also chairs the South-West Governors’ Forum, will oversee campaign activities across the six states of the South-West region, which include Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ondo, and Ekiti. His responsibilities will encompass working closely with APC leaders at national, zonal, and state levels to galvanize support for Tinubu’s re-election and enhance the party’s influence throughout the region.

Sanwo-Olu has a history of successful campaign leadership, having previously served as the Chairman of the APC Governorship Campaign Council in Ondo State during the 2020 and 2024 elections, where the party achieved victory. As the new South-West Zonal Campaign Coordinator, he is expected to engage with various stakeholders, including political groups, labor unions, student organizations, artisans, and business communities within the South-West.

Additionally, Sanwo-Olu will be tasked with communicating the accomplishments of the Tinubu administration to the electorate and mobilizing citizens and party supporters to ensure a successful outcome for the APC in the upcoming elections. This strategic appointment underscores the APC's commitment to strengthening its presence and support base in the South-West as the 2027 elections approach.
