President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday inaugurated the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council ahead of the 2027 general election.
The inauguration took place at the State House Conference Centre in Abuja.
Tinubu told party leaders that the assignment before them was not yet complete.
His spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, said the President urged members of the council to work with unity, discipline and commitment.
Tinubu said no one deserves credit for the last election until the party delivers victory again in 2027.
He reminded the campaign team that winning begins from every electoral ward across the country.
The President said while the party prepares for the election, his administration will remain focused on governance.
He said Nigerians still expect his government to fulfil its promises under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
Tinubu added that he would continue speaking directly to Nigerians even as party leaders handle campaigns in the states.
He also said attracting investors and meeting the country’s financial obligations remain priorities for his administration.
Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma advised the President not to allow politics to distract him from governing the country.
Tinubu described the advice as timely and assured Nigerians that governance would remain his main responsibility.
Vice President Kashim Shettima praised Tinubu’s leadership and urged Nigerians to respect the office of the President.
Shettima also criticised former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and National Democratic Movement presidential candidate Peter Obi over their comments on the administration.
Tinubu urged the campaign council to engage Nigerians peacefully and sell the achievements of his government ahead of the 2027 election.
