Borno State Governor, Professor Babagana Zulum, has called on members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council’s Contact and Mobilisation Committee to strengthen coordination, deepen consultations and develop effective strategies to mobilise voters ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Zulum made the call on Tuesday during a meeting of the committee in Abuja, where he urged members to work collectively and demonstrate commitment to achieving the objectives assigned to them by the party’s national leadership.

The governor, who serves as Coordinating Director of Contact and Mobilisation, said the committee had a critical responsibility to harmonise the activities of its various units and groups to ensure effective implementation of the council’s mobilisation plans.

He identified the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima as the committee’s central assignment, stressing the need for a coordinated approach to engaging voters across the country.

Zulum also emphasised the importance of regular meetings to assess ongoing activities, measure progress and identify areas requiring improvement in the committee’s mobilisation efforts.

According to him, sustained consultations and the pooling of members’ experience would strengthen the committee’s capacity to deliver on its mandate.

He urged members to maintain unity of purpose and ensure that their individual and collective efforts aligned with the directives of the APC leadership.

Those who attended the meeting included Senator Adams Oshiomhole, Deputy Director-General of the Presidential Campaign Council in charge of mobilisation; the Minister of State for Education, Professor Suwaiba Said Ahmad; the Minister of Women Affairs, Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim; and Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM).

The meeting focused on improving coordination and strengthening voter mobilisation efforts in support of the APC’s presidential campaign.
