APC Waives Screening for Tinubu Ahead of Primaries

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has reportedly waived its presidential screening requirement for President Bola Tinubu ahead of the party’s primaries, a move seen as a major endorsement of his leadership and expected re-election bid.

Party insiders say the decision was reached to streamline the nomination process and demonstrate confidence in Tinubu’s administration. The waiver means the president will not undergo the usual vetting process required of other aspirants.

Supporters within the ruling party argue that the move reflects unity and stability within the APC, especially as the 2027 general elections approach. However, critics within and outside the party have raised concerns about internal democracy and fairness in the selection process.

Opposition figures are also expected to react strongly, describing the development as an attempt to tilt the political playing field in favor of the incumbent. Meanwhile, APC leadership insists the decision aligns with party guidelines and national interest.

The development is likely to shape early political alignments and campaign strategies as Nigeria moves closer to another crucial election cycle.
