The lawmaker representing Ikeja Federal Constituency, James Faleke, has obtained the All Progressives Congress (APC) Expression of Interest and Nomination form on behalf of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as preparations for the 2027 presidential election intensify.

At a brief ceremony held on Tuesday in Abuja, the party’s National Organizing Secretary, Suleiman Argungu, officially announced the start of the process and handed over the form to Faleke, who is also the founder of the Tinubu Supporters Group.

By obtaining and paying for the forms, reportedly worth N100 million, Faleke has effectively set in motion the formal process for Tinubu’s re-election campaign.
