The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has cleared Aare Rufai Adekunle Omo-Aje to run in the 2027 Presidential Election on the platform of Action Alliance, AA
According to documents submitted to INEC ahead of the 2027 general elections, Omo-Aje officially declared his intention to run for President of Nigeria and confirmed that all details in his nomination form are accurate to the best of his knowledge.
The form, labeled PR/01 and received by INEC, lists the Action Alliance candidate’s constituency as Nigeria, with party membership number AA488557.
Born January 15, 1955, the 71-year-old politician wrote his name in block letters as RUFAI ADEKUNLE OMO-AJE and is widely known as Aare Rufai Adekunle Omoaje.
A prominent politician and business tycoon from Ede, Osun State, Omoaje is described as a leader with “a vision of Nigeria that must work for all.”
He also serves as the National Chairman of the Action Alliance, placing him at the heart of the party’s preparations for the 2027 elections.
Omoaje became the presidential candidate of the Action Alliance* through a consensus arrangement* at the party’s presidential primary held in Abuja on Saturday.*
Party delegates ratified his candidacy after an official described the process as peaceful and rancor-free, aimed at uniting the party ahead of 2027.
In a statement shared with the media in Kaduna today, Omoaje assured Nigerians that an Action Alliance government would focus on economic recovery and national security.
He pledged to work toward a stronger economy and promised to bring *an end to insecurity* across Nigeria if elected president.
The Action Alliance candidate said the party’s main focus will be on policies that directly benefit ordinary Nigerians, including job creation, infrastructure development, and strengthening government institutions.
Political analysts note that Omoaje’s emergence adds a new dimension to the growing list of contenders aiming to influence the political scene ahead of the 2027 elections.
With INEC’s confirmation of his nomination details, the Action Alliance is set to launch official campaigns and grassroots outreach across all 36 states and the FCT.
Party officials said the AA is relying on Omoaje’s experience as both a business person and long-time party leader to promote its message of inclusive governance.
As the 2027 election cycle gains momentum, everyone will be watching to see how the Action Alliance, under Omoaje’s leadership, positions itself as a viable alternative to the major political parties.
