The lawmaker representing Ikeja Federal Constituency, James Faleke, has obtained the All Progressives Congress (APC) Expression of Interest and Nomination forms on behalf of President Bola Tinubu as preparations intensify for the 2027 presidential election.

The forms were formally presented to Faleke on Tuesday in Abuja by the National Organising Secretary of the APC, Suleiman Argungu, who declared the nomination process officially open.

Faleke, founder of the Tinubu Support Groups, paid a sum of N100 million for the forms, signaling the formal commencement of Tinubu’s re-election bid under the ruling party.
