Nigeria’s All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council has given Kebbi State Governor Nasir Idris the political title of 'Field Marshal.' The honor was presented in recognition of Idris’s contributions to the party. It is a campaign-council designation and does not represent a military appointment or command. The decision places Idris in a prominent ceremonial role within the APC’s preparations for the 2027 presidential election. Punch reported the announcement after the council formally approved the designation. Details about any formal benefits, duties or ceremony attached to the title were not included in the report. The move also brings Idris into a more visible position within the party as preparations for the 2027 election advance.
