The All Progressives Congress campaign council has put a new rule in place ahead of 2027: ministers and party members will now be limited to attending rallies only in their home states.
The council says the move is about keeping campaign activities well-coordinated and making sure grassroots mobilisation actually reaches every part of the country. The thinking is straightforward. When party figures campaign on familiar ground, among people who know them, the message tends to land harder.
It is an early but telling signal of how the APC plans to organize its 2027 push. Whether the structure holds as election season heats up is the real question worth watching.
