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 party said the event would form part of its preparations for the 2027 elections.
The party said it was seeking permission to hold the inauguration at the Presidential Villa in the spirit of multiparty democracy, political inclusiveness and equal treatment of political parties.

“On behalf of the African Action Congress (AAC), I respectfully write to request approval to hold the inauguration ceremony of our Presidential Campaign Council on the 11th of November 2026 at the Presidential Villa, Aso Rock, Abuja, in preparation for the 2027 general elections,” the letter read.
“In the spirit of multiparty democracy, political inclusiveness, and equal treatment of political parties, we also request the provision of food, drinks, and other logistical support for participants at the event, consistent with the arrangements reportedly extended to the All Progressives Congress (APC) for a similar political engagement,” it stated.
The AAC argued that granting the request would demonstrate the Presidency’s commitment to fairness and equal access for political parties, as well as the principle that public institutions should serve all Nigerians without partisan discrimination.
