The African Action Congress (AAC) has written to President Bola Tinubu requesting to use the Presidential Villa, Abuja for the inauguration of its presidential campaign council ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The party, which is fielding human rights activist Omoyele Sowore as its presidential candidate, also asked President Tinubu for logistical support for 5,000 participants.
In a letter dated October 21, 2026 and signed by National Secretary, Oshiokhue Philip Ikpeminoghena, the party said it wants to stage the inauguration on November 11, 2026 “in preparation for the 2027 general elections.”
The AAC specifically requested the provision of food, drinks and other logistical support for the 5,000 expected attendees from within Nigeria and abroad.
The party said the request was made “consistent with the arrangements reportedly extended to the All Progressives Congress (APC) for a similar political engagement.”
“In the spirit of multiparty democracy, political inclusiveness, and equal treatment of political parties,” the letter stated, granting the request would demonstrate the Presidency’s commitment to fairness, equal access, and the principle that public institutions must serve all Nigerians without partisan discrimination.
The AAC said it looks forward to a favourable response and asked for information on the applicable procedures and conditions for approval.
