The African Action Congress (AAC), led by presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore, has asked President Bola Tinubu to approve the use of the Presidential Villa in Abuja for the inauguration of its 2027 Presidential Campaign Council.
According to a report by Daily Nigerian published on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, the party proposed November 11 for the event and requested food, drinks and other logistical support for attendees.
In a letter signed by the party’s National Secretary, Oshiokhue Philip Ikpeminoghena, the AAC said granting its request would demonstrate political inclusiveness, fairness and equal treatment of political parties.
The party reportedly cited arrangements extended to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for a similar political engagement, arguing that public institutions should serve Nigerians without partisan discrimination.
The request comes after the APC inaugurated its 2027 Presidential Campaign Council at the State House Conference Centre on October 14.
However, as of October 21, the Presidency had yet to publicly respond to the AAC’s request, according to reports by Daily Nigerian and Politics Nigeria.
Sowore, who secured the AAC’s presidential ticket in May 2026, is preparing to challenge for the presidency in the 2027 general election.
