It disclosed that the electoral law that guides the conduct of elections and political campaigns forbid any form of campaign for the 2027 general elections.
It also said, “Premature campaigning can undermine the integrity of the electoral process and create unfair advantages. As law-abiding leaders, President Tinubu and Vice President Shettima do not support any action that undermines our institutions and the electoral process.
“Until the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) sets the timetable for the 2027 elections, the President has not endorsed or authorised anyone or any group to mount a 2027 campaign for him through any media channel—be it Out-of-Home, print, digital, radio, or television.
“Therefore, we urgently call on individuals and groups funding this 2027 political campaign through the ongoing deployment of materials on billboards nationwide to cease immediately.
“When INEC signals that the processes for the 2027 elections can start, President Tinubu will duly inform Nigerians of his plans”, according to the statement.
