The Benue Strategic Alliance for Tinubu 2027, a group associated with Secretary to the Government of the Federation George Akume, rejected the roughly 500-member campaign council announced by APC state organising secretary James Ornguga. The group said its conveners, including Jack Tilley-Gyado and Simon Shango, and its candidates for the national and state assemblies were listed without authorisation.
