Alhaji Ibrahim Kabir Masari, Special Adviser to the President on Political and Other Matters, has promised massive votes for President Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.
He spoke on Wednesday at the inauguration of the APC Presidential Campaign Council and said the council would deliver more votes than all opposition parties combined.
He called the job a sacred trust and urged members to take the campaign to polling units, wards, local government areas and communities across the country.
"Stop talking to yourselves and start talking to the people," he said.
He warned against too many meetings, inflated claims and promises that cannot be backed by results on the ground.
Masari said members will be judged on real results and that political influence must turn into votes. He asked them to avoid divisions, hate speech and personal grievances.
He also asked the council's Director-General, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, to keep the team united and its message consistent.
He said the campaign should explain the government's record on economic reform, education, healthcare and infrastructure, and answer public concerns with facts.
He also urged parties to follow electoral laws, reject misinformation and focus on issues.
"Our task is to turn our convictions into action, our organisation into mobilisation, and our mobilisation into votes," he said.
