The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has revealed that it will print multiple presidential and governorship expression of interest and nomination forms, announcing that it will not print an automatic single ticket for President Bola Tinubu to contest unopposed.

Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Duro Meseko, who made the disclosure while addressing newsmen at the party’s national headquarters in Abuja on Thursday after the 186th NWC meeting, also announced an adjustment in the timetable and schedule of activities for the 2027 general elections.
The ruling party’s national leadership also disclosed the rescheduling of the presidential primary from May 15-16 to May 23, dismissing insinuations that that the presidential screening will be carried out inside the Aso Rock Presidential Villa Abuja.

The NWC challenged all confident Nigerians to pick nomination forms against President Bola Tinubu and the incumbent state governors, announcing that it has adopted direct and consensus party primary options.
The party’s leadership hinged the decision to print multiple presidential ticket on being democratic.
