2027: Muhammad Musa Rejects APC Campaign Appointment, Vows To Back Candidate Who’ll Restore Petrol Subsidy

A man whose name appeared on the All Progressives Congress, APC, 2027 presidential campaign list has rejected his appointment as a member of the party’s New Media Committee.

Muhammad Murtala Musa announced his rejection in a statement dated September 7, 2026, addressed to the APC.

Musa said his attention was drawn to a published list containing his name as a member of the New Media Committee of the APC Presidential Campaign Committee for the 2027 election.

The committee is chaired by Dada Olusegun, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on New Media.

“I hereby categorically and emphatically reject this so-called appointment for this reason,” Musa stated.

Musa said he would rather use his energy to promote any candidate who promises to restore petrol subsidy if elected president in 2027, “even President Bola Tinubu.”

“I will use my energy to market whoever promises to restore the petrol subsidy if he wins the 2027 presidency, even President Bola Tinubu,” he said.

He also said he was unwilling to defend politicians whom he blamed for the hardship being experienced by Nigerians.

“I am not among the citizens who defend the people who created their suffering,” he added.

His rejection comes as political parties and politicians begin preparations for the 2027 general elections, with campaigns and realignments expected to intensify ahead of the polls.
