  "summary": "The Osun APC spokesperson, Kola Olabisi, has stated that the party's defeat in a recent election will not affect President Tinubu's chances of victory in 2027, according to Punch.\n\nMeanwhile, FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has expressed confidence in President Tinubu's 2027 victory, stating that he doesn't need an APC campaign council role to ensure the president's win, as reported by Punch Nigeria. Wike also urged stakeholders to focus on securing votes at the grassroots level, BusinessDay Nigeria reports.\n\nAbdulaziz Yari has been appointed as the Director-General of the 108-member Presidential Campaign Council for President Tinubu, with some expressing confidence in his ability to secure a win for the president. Prince Williams Akporeha, National Coordinator of Working People United, praised Yari's experience in governance, party organisation, and grassroots mobilisation, saying he will bring discipline and strategic coordination to the campaign, as quoted by Daily Post Nigeria.",
