  "summary": "Kebbi Governor Nasir Idris has been chosen for President Tinubu's 2027 campaign council due to his extensive labour background and political influence, according to an aide. This information comes from Punch Nigeria and Punch.\n\nFormer lawmaker Dino Melaye has criticized President Bola Tinubu for appointing himself as chairman of his 2027 campaign council, describing the move as \"disgraceful\" and abnormal. According to Melaye, this decision reflects Tinubu's distrust of APC governors and ministers.\n\nThe appointments to Tinubu's 2027 campaign council have also been questioned by the ADC, who expressed concerns over the inclusion of former Humanitarian Affairs Minister Betta Edu and former NSITF Chairman Ngozi Olejeme, as reported by Premium Times.",
