  "account": "The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council has set a deadline of October 22, 2026, for support groups supporting President Bola Tinubu’s re-election to register or revalidate their membership. The deadline began on October 17, 2026, and is set to conclude on the aforementioned date. Silas Agara, the Director of the Support Groups Mobilisation Directorate, announced the opening of the online registration portal at the national secretariat of the Tinubu Support Group in Abuja. Agara urged all groups and volunteer networks backing Tinubu’s re-election to complete the registration process within the given timeframe, irrespective of whether they previously registered with the APC or another campaign organization.

The directorate will coordinate the groups, strengthen their capacity, and ensure their activities align with the broader objectives of the APC presidential campaign.

Some of the key policies mentioned include the removal of the petrol subsidy, unification of foreign exchange rates, strengthening local government autonomy, tax reforms, the Nigerian Education Loan Fund, the Nigerian Consumer Credit Corporation, and the Nigeria Health Sector Renewal Investment Initiative. The support groups are responsible for explaining government policies and achievements while listening to public concerns. Members are urged to engage citizens respectfully in their communities, workplaces, markets, and neighbourhoods, focusing on credible information and constructive dialogue. The APC election in 2027 will require proper organisation, discipline, and sustained grassroots engagement, and the groups must use the registration exercise to strengthen their coordination ahead of the poll.",
