Action Democratic Party (ADP) presidential candidate Aliyu Bin Abbas appointed Victor Fingesi to lead the Aliyu–Ike Presidential Campaign Council, assigning him nationwide organizational duties ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 election.
The appointment took effect Nov. 9, according to a statement by Okpani Jacob Onjewu Dickson, Abbas’ senior special assistant on media and publicity, carried by BusinessDay on Wednesday.
Fingesi is to establish campaign structures across all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, manage the council’s departments and messaging, support local mobilization, and supervise approved programs. The statement also assigns him responsibility for tracking performance, identifying operational priorities and providing regular updates to Abbas.
He will work with the vice-presidential candidate and campaign leadership as the council prepares for the election, Dickson said.
Dickson said Fingesi’s role stops at the campaign council. He has no authority over ADP’s constitutional organs or its elected and appointed officers, and the party’s constitution, lawful decisions and regulatory requirements remain in force.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) lists ABBAS-BIN ALIYU as ADP’s presidential candidate and IKE CHINAZAM as its vice-presidential candidate on its final candidate list.
