The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council list, recently released, is not set for a complete overhaul, according to Special Adviser to the President on Media and Public Communication, Sunday Dare. He clarified that the list will only undergo "adjustments," not a complete review. Dare denied claims that the list had been withdrawn, explaining that only modifications would be made to the list through various subcommittees.

On Saturday, Bayo Onanuga, the President's Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, announced President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima as the council's chairman and vice chairman, respectively. The APC Chairman, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, served as vice chairman, while former Zamfara State Governor, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, would function as the director-general of the campaign.

Governor Hope Uzodimma would preside as secretary of the campaign council, with APC National Secretary, Senator Ajibola Bashiru, and Hadiza Bala-Usman taking on the roles of deputy and assistant secretary. However, following the announcement, several party members and stakeholders claimed to have been overlooked, leading to calls for the list's withdrawal and subsequent amendment.

Yet, during an interview on Channels Television, Dare refuted the claim of list withdrawal, asserting that subcommittees would be established, introducing additional names to the mix.
