The APC presidential ticket for the 2027 general election is being contested by Tinubu and businessman Sterlyn Osifo, prompting the party to organise a direct primary to select its flagbearer.

Voting commenced early under tight security, with party supporters and stakeholders gathering at the venue in solidarity with the President.

Among party leaders who monitored the exercise were Babajide Sanwo-Olu, former Minister of Finance Wale Edun, APC Lagos State Chairman Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi, and party chieftain Kola Peregrino.
