The lawmaker representing Ikeja Federal Constituency, James Faleke, has picked up the All Progressives Congress (APC) Expression of Interest and Nomination forms on behalf of President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 presidential election, paying N100 million for the exercise.
The APC National Organising Secretary, Suleiman Argungu, on Tuesday in Abuja, formally flagged off the process and presented the nomination documents to Faleke, who is also associated with the Tinubu Support Groups.
Faleke’s collection and payment of the N100 million forms on behalf of the President effectively signals the commencement of Tinubu’s re-election bid.
Meanwhile, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has fixed the presidential and National Assembly elections for Saturday, January 16, 2027, while governorship and State Houses of Assembly elections will hold on Saturday, February 6, 2027.
