Tinubu to Receive APC Certificate, Flag for 2027 Bid

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will on Sunday formally receive the Certificate of Return and the party flag of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as its presidential candidate for the 2027 elections.

The presentation will take place at the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre in Abuja, following the nationwide collation of results from the party’s presidential primary, according to a State House press statement issued Saturday.

The APC Presidential Primary Elections Committee is expected to hand over the certificate and flag, marking the official conclusion of the party’s candidate selection process ahead of the 2027 general election.

Top party figures, including APC governors, members of the National Executive Committee and National Working Committee, as well as lawmakers from the National Assembly, are scheduled to attend the ceremony alongside other party stakeholders.

The event signals the party’s formal endorsement of Tinubu’s candidacy as preparations begin in earnest for the next presidential poll.

The statement was signed by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, on May 23, 2026.
