A support group campaigning for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election in 2027 has threatened to withdraw its voluntary support for the President if former Borno State Governor, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, remains in the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign structure.
The Grassroots Movement for Tinubu Continuity Come 2027 issued the warning in a formal complaint dated August 25, 2026, addressed to the APC National Chairman, with a copy sent to the Presidency.
The group said its objection was specifically to Sheriff’s appointment as the North-East Zonal Campaign Coordinator of the APC Presidential Campaign Council for the 2027 election.
National Chairman of the group, Comrade Sani Ahmad Zangina, said the organisation remained committed to Tinubu’s re-election but could not continue its grassroots mobilisation under the current arrangement.
“Our support for Mr President remains unwavering, but we cannot continue to offer voluntary support under an arrangement that places Senator Ali Modu Sheriff at the forefront of the campaign in the North-East,” Zangina said.
