  "summary": "The Allied Peoples' Movement, APM, and the African Democratic Congress, ADC, have criticised President Bola Tinubu's 2027 campaign council. The ADC described the council as a \"rehabilitation centre for corruption suspects\" due to the inclusion of former Humanitarian Affairs Minister Betta Edu and former NSITF Chairman Ngozi Olejeme, according to Premium Times.\n\nThe APM labelled the council as \"dead on arrival\" and stated that it reflects the alleged declining popularity of the Tinubu administration, Daily Post Nigeria reported. They also criticised the appointment of former Zamfara State Governor Abdul-Aziz Yari as Director-General, citing his administration's record of worsening insecurity and poor living conditions.\n\nMinister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, stated that he does not need a role in the campaign council to deliver Rivers and the FCT for Tinubu, as reported by TheCable and Daily Trust. Wike stressed that campaign council membership does not guarantee victory and that politicians should focus on grassroot voter mobilisation.",
