Dr. Mustapha Abdullahi has been listed as the Secretary, Sport Sector Mobilisation in the proposed 2027 APC Presidential Campaign Council, according to a membership list of the council.
His name appears as number 109 on the 22-page membership document, placing him within the council’s Sport Sector Mobilisation Directorate.
The Sport Sector Mobilisation Directorate is headed by Shehu Dikko, who is listed as the Director, while former Edo State Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu, and former Super Eagles captain Joseph Yobo are named as Deputy Directors.
Dr. Mustapha Abdullahi’s inclusion in the council highlights the role assigned to the sport sector in the mobilisation structure of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 presidential campaign.
The Sport Sector Mobilisation Directorate is one of several specialised sectoral structures contained in the membership list, alongside youth, women, creative, health, education, agro-allied, manufacturing and other mobilisation directorates.
The document lists President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as Chairman of the 2027 APC Presidential Campaign Council, with Vice President Kashim Shettima as Vice Chairman I.
Dr. Mustapha’s listing as Secretary of the Sport Sector Mobilisation Directorate therefore places him among the individuals assigned specific responsibilities within the proposed campaign structure.
The membership list also features prominent figures from politics, government, sports, entertainment and other sectors, reflecting the broad mobilisation framework outlined for the 2027 presidential campaign.
