President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of the Minister of Works, Engr. David Umahi as the Deputy Director-General, Infrastructure, Mobilisation and Sensitisation of the 2027 APC Presidential Campaign Council.
Director, Information and Public Relations, Federal Ministry of Works, Mohammed Ahmed disclosed this in a statement on Saturday.
The appointment places Engr. Umahi at the heart of the campaign’s strategic machinery, particularly in the critical areas of infrastructure advocacy, political mobilisation and nationwide sensitisation.
As Deputy Director-General responsible for Infrastructure, Mobilisation and Sensitisation, he is expected to bring his wealth of experience as a former Deputy Governor, Governor, and Senator, and a serving Minister of the Federal Republic, and seasoned political leader to bare in taking the achievements and infrastructure developmental strides of the Renewed Hope Administration to Nigerians across the country.
Umahi’s remarkable record in infrastructure development, his extensive political experience and network, and his grassroots engagement are expected to strengthen the campaign’s capacity to communicate the Renewed Hope Administration’s achievements and mobilise support across the length and breadth of the Federation.
The Council will be led by Senator Abdulaziz Yari, former Governor of Zamfara State and a serving Senator representing Zamfara West Senatorial District, who was appointed as Director-General of the 2027 APC Presidential Campaign Council.
The Council also comprises other distinguished political leaders, former Governors, serving Senators, Ministers, party leaders and experienced grassroots mobilisers, reflecting the President’s commitment to assembling a broad-based and formidable campaign team with the experience, national reach and political capacity required for the task ahead.
The appointment underscores the importance attached to political mobilisation, grassroots sensitisation, infrastructure advocacy and national coordination as the APC prepares to take the message and achievements of the Renewed Hope Administration to every part of the country.
With Senator Yari providing overall leadership as the Director-General and Senator Engr. Umahi, serving as the Deputy Director-General for Infrastructure, Mobilisation and Sensitisation, the Council is well positioned to drive an effective national campaign and strengthen engagement with Nigerians.
The appointment of Senator Umahi to this strategic position is in recognition of his outstanding leadership qualities, vast political experience, and proven capacity in infrastructure development and national mobilisation.
