EKO HOT BLOG reports that the presentation ceremony is scheduled to hold on Sunday at the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre in Abuja following the nationwide collation of results from the APC presidential primary election.
This was disclosed in a statement issued on Saturday by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
According to the statement, the event will be attended by APC governors, members of the party’s National Executive Committee, National Working Committee, lawmakers, and other senior party leaders.
The APC had earlier conducted its presidential primary election as part of preparations for the 2027 general elections.
The presentation of the certificate of return and party flag formally confirms Tinubu as the APC presidential candidate for the next election cycle.
President Tinubu emerged winner of the APC direct primary conducted nationwide after defeating his lone challenger, Osifo Osayamen Stanley.
Speaking earlier after casting his vote during the APC presidential primaries at Ikoyi Obalende Ward L2 in Lagos State, Tinubu described the exercise as proof that the ruling party was allowing members to fully participate in the democratic process.
The President commended party members for the peaceful conduct recorded during the primaries and praised their commitment throughout the exercise.
According to him, the process was properly organised from the ward level to the local government stage, with governors and party officials handling delegate accreditation, membership registration, and other electoral procedures in an orderly manner.
Tinubu stated that the primaries reflected a healthy democratic culture within the APC and ensured that party members had the opportunity to participate in decision making at the grassroots level.
