The lawmaker representing Ikeja Federal Constituency, James Faleke, has secured the Expression of Interest and Nomination forms of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on behalf of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as preparations intensify for the 2027 presidential election.
At a brief ceremony held on Tuesday in Abuja, the party’s National Organising Secretary, Suleiman Argungu, officially announced the commencement of the process and handed over the forms to Faleke, who is also the founder of the Tinubu Support Groups.
By obtaining and paying for the forms, reportedly valued at N100 million, Faleke has effectively set in motion the formal process for Tinubu’s re-election campaign.
