According to report by THE NATION on Wednesday April 29, 2026, Osifo Stanley, an aspirant for the All Progressives Congress (APC) 2027 presidential ticket, has dismissed claims that his ambition is being backed by the presidency, insisting that he is fully funding his political journey himself.
The APC presidential hopeful recently purchased nomination forms worth N100 million and collected them in Abuja, officially positioning himself as a challenger to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Stanley said his decision to join the race followed wide consultations with key stakeholders within the party, adding that his entry into the contest has surprised many political observers. He maintained that his ambition is based on personal conviction and not influenced by any individual or political office.
He further stressed that his move into the presidential race is independent, saying his goal is to contribute to the future direction of the party and the country.
He said,
