APC NWC WAIVES SCREENING REQUIREMENTS FOR PRESIDENT TINUBU
The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), at its 188th Meeting, held today May 6, 2026, resolved to waive, and has waived, screening requirements for His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, and deemed him as duly screened in accordance with the Constitution of the Party for the purpose of participation in the upcoming primary elections.
This decision was made pursuant to the powers conferred on the NWC under Article 13.4 (xiii) and (xiv) of the Constitution of APC to organise and supervise the Party’s primaries and, in special circumstances, grant waivers, in the best interest of the Party.
The NWC noted that the President @officialABAT has received overwhelming endorsement and vote of confidence from critical stakeholders of the Party, including the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), the leadership and members of the National Assembly, and other organs of the Party at the APC National Summit of May 22, 2025, and other major statutory events of the Party.
It noted further that, as the incumbent President, and leader of our great Party, having been duly screened and cleared ahead of the 2022 presidential primaries, requiring his physical appearance before a screening committee, at this time, would be redundant and unnecessary.

Why Is Seyi Tinubu Receiving Endorsements for Lagos State Governorship?
By Aliu Olamilekan Bello AKA #SANTANA_AOB#AOB2024
The political landscape of Lagos State is heating up as multiple groups throw their weight behind Seyi Tinubu, the son of President Bola Tinubu, for the 2027 governorship election. These endorsements are rooted in various factors, ranging from his humanitarian contributions to claims of strong leadership potential. However, the movement has also sparked controversy, with critics warning against perceived political dynasties.
Reasons for Endorsements
1. Philanthropic Efforts
Seyi Tinubu has gained significant recognition for his charitable activities, particularly in times of crisis. The Coalition of Nigerian Youth Leaders has pointed to his involvement in disaster relief, such as his support for flood victims in Borno State. His willingness to assist communities in distress has painted him as a compassionate leader who prioritizes humanitarian efforts.
2. Leadership Qualities
Supporters believe Seyi Tinubu possesses the vision, intellect, and empathy required to govern Lagos effectively. The Friends of Seyi Tinubu group highlights his leadership experience and strategic thinking, arguing that he is well-prepared to navigate the complexities of Lagos politics and lead the state toward economic growth and development.
3. Community Impact and Professional Experience
Another driving force behind the endorsements is his engagement with local and international communities. The Future Platform USA, a diaspora organization, praises his business acumen and professional background, asserting that he has demonstrated qualities necessary for governance. His supporters argue that his involvement in social initiatives shows a deep commitment to public service.
4. Political Legacy
Perhaps the most controversial reason for his endorsement is the argument that he can build upon the foundation laid by his father, Bola Tinubu, who served as Lagos State governor from 1999 to 2007. Many of his backers believe that Seyi Tinubu can continue and even surpass the achievements of his father’s administration, citing his exposure to political affairs from an early age.
Controversies and Opposition
While Seyi Tinubu’s endorsements are gaining momentum, they are not without opposition. Critics argue that his candidacy promotes political inheritance rather than merit-based leadership. Some groups, wary of what they describe as “dynastic politics,” have strongly rejected the idea, insisting that Lagos deserves a governor chosen purely on grassroots merit, not family ties.
There are also concerns about whether his private-sector experience translates effectively into public governance. Detractors insist that Lagos State should not be reduced to a family-controlled political structure, warning against the dangers of consolidating power within a select group.
Conclusion
Seyi Tinubu’s potential candidacy has sparked a passionate debate about leadership, governance, and political continuity in Lagos State. While his supporters highlight his philanthropic efforts, leadership skills, and political legacy, critics caution against what they see as an attempt to impose a political dynasty. As 2027 approaches, the question remains: Will Lagosians embrace this endorsement, or will they resist it in favor of a different path?

Moments ago, the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Technology Innovation Complex, BATTIC was commissioned by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the Headquarters of the Nigerian Immigration Service. According to President Tinubu, “…This is the fulfillment of a dream. From the beginning of our administration we promised to deliver. Nigeria is making tremendous progress…” Mr. President reiterated that Nigeria is annexing technology to drive its progress. Nigeria as a leader in Africa must embrace technology, innovation and a knowledge base economy.
The NIS Digital Hub completed under the Minister of Interior signals Nigeria’s digital compliance with the A-Z of of the Advanced Passenger Information System, APIS, as stipulated by ICAO providing a new, modern and technology complaint system.
The system protects our boarders and enhances national security. It has an 8.3 gigabytes system and has 6 components. The modern facility functions to detect suspicious travel patterns, pick out persons of interest, biometrics, real time 24 hour surveillance amongst others. Nigeria’s passport is now a security document with full compliance to international standards. Thanks to President Tinubu who resuscitated an 18-year old project in about a year.

President Tinubu has taken responsibility for addressing the long-standing economic issues that past Nigerian Presidents have managed through temporary fixes. His bold actions may be difficult now, but there’s hope that history will recognize his daring efforts. #AOB2024
