Tinubu Appoints Keyamo To Head APC Directorate Of Air Mobilisation For 2027 Re-Election Campaign

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed the Honourable Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, to head the Directorate of Air Mobilisation of the All Progressives Congress (APC) 2027 re-election campaign.

Under the new arrangement, Keyamo will serve as Director of the Directorate of Air Mobilisation, with the Managing Director of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Olubunmi Kuku, appointed Deputy Director 1, while Engr. Farouk Ahmed Umar will serve as Deputy Director II, according to a statement by Keyamo’s Special Adviser on Media and Communications, Tunde Moshood, on Sunday.

According to the statement, the appointments underscored the strategic importance of air transportation, operational coordination and aviation logistics to the organisation of a nationwide campaign.

The Directorate of Air Mobilisation is expected to support the broader campaign organisation through structured planning, coordination with relevant stakeholders, efficient scheduling and appropriate logistical arrangements.

The statement further noted that the directorate would operate in strict compliance with aviation safety requirements and all applicable laws governing political campaigns.

The directorate’s activities will also be expected to maintain a clear distinction between campaign operations and official government functions, ensuring that campaign-related arrangements are undertaken through properly authorised channels.

President Tinubu’s 2027 re-election campaign is being organised through the APC Presidential Campaign Council, which brings together political leaders and designated directorates to coordinate the party’s preparations for the forthcoming general election.
