The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has directed political appointees serving in President Bola Tinubu’s administration who intend to contest elective positions in the forthcoming elections to resign from their appointments without delay.
The directive is aimed at ensuring compliance with the party’s internal guidelines and promoting transparency in the electoral process. According to the APC leadership, political appointees aspiring to elective offices are expected to vacate their positions to avoid conflicts of interest and create a level playing field for all aspirants.
The chairman stressed that the party remains committed to discipline and due process, urging all affected officials to comply with the directive immediately.
The development comes as political activities gather momentum ahead of the next election cycle, with several serving appointees reportedly preparing to seek various elective offices under the APC platform.
Political observers believe the directive could trigger changes within the federal administration as affected appointees make decisions about their political ambitions. The party is expected to release further guidelines as preparations for the elections continue.
