The African Action Congress, AAC, has written to President Bola Tinubu seeking approval to use the Presidential Villa, Aso Rock, Abuja for the inauguration of its Presidential Campaign Council.
The party in a letter dated October 21, 2026 and signed by its National Secretary, Oshiokhue Philip Ikpeminoghena, said it wants to hold the inauguration on November 11, 2026 ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In the letter titled "Request for Approval to Hold the Inauguration of the AAC Presidential Campaign Council at the Presidential Villa and for Logistical Support," the AAC also asked for food, drinks and other logistical support for participants.
The letter was shared on Wednesday by its presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore.
The party said its request is based on multiparty democracy, political inclusiveness and equal treatment of political parties.
It said it is asking for the same arrangement reportedly extended to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, which inaugurated its own campaign council at the State House Conference Centre on October 14.
"We believe that granting this request would demonstrate the Presidency's commitment to fairness, equal access, and the principle that public institutions must serve all Nigerians without partisan discrimination," the letter stated.
The AAC asked the Presidency to provide information on procedures and conditions for approval.
At the time of filing this report, the Presidency has not responded to the request.
