‘It contains former sinners’ – APC chieftain Ojudu criticises Tinubu’s campaign council list

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Babafemi Ojudu, has criticised the recently released list of members of the party’s presidential campaign council.

DAILY POST reports that the APC on Saturday unveiled a 108-member campaign council ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

However, the list has generated controversy, with some Nigerians questioning the inclusion of certain individuals.

In a statement posted on his official Facebook page on Sunday, Ojudu also joined those raising concerns over some of the names contained in the council list, pointing out that some former sinners are also in the list.

According to Ojudu, in the list, there are “saints and former sinners, the tried and the tired, reformers and those still awaiting reform. There are people whose names inspire confidence and others whose names inspire a quick check on one’s wallet.”

Ojudu suggested that a “campaign seeking the confidence of Nigerians should not appear to be offering political sanctuary to every controversial figure who can command a convoy, finance a rally or mobilise a forest.”
