  "summary": "APC youth leaders across Nigeria have expressed support for the appointment of Youth Minister Ayodele Olawande to the 2027 Presidential Campaign Council. According to Punch Nigeria, they have pledged their backing for his inclusion.\n\nThe appointment of Ayodele Olawande to the campaign council has garnered attention, but not all reactions have been positive. Daily Post Nigeria reports that social commentator Mahdi Shehu has criticised the inclusion of former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Betta Edu, in the APC 2027 campaign council. Shehu questioned the decision to include Edu, citing allegations of financial wrongdoing against her.\n\nThe APC campaign council comprises 223 entries, according to Daily Post Nigeria. The Presidency released the full list on Saturday.",
