2027: APC waives screening requirements for President Tinubu
The party said overwhelming endorsements from key stakeholders made a fresh appearance before a screening committee unnecessary.
- On Wednesday, the National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress waived screening requirements for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, clearing him to participate in the party's upcoming primary elections.
- Citing Article 13.4 of the Constitution, the NWC deemed physical appearance redundant because Tinubu was previously cleared during the 2022 presidential primaries.
- Party leadership noted the President received overwhelming support from critical stakeholders, including the Progressive Governors Forum and the National Assembly, during the APC National Summit of May 22, 2025.
- APC National Publicity Secretary Felix Morka announced the decision, confirming the party has already adopted Tinubu as its presidential candidate pending formalisation at an upcoming convention.
- Seeking a second term, President Bola Tinubu will bypass the standard screening committee process used to approve or disqualify candidates following the NWC waiver.
