The Presidential Campaign Council of the All Progressives Congress has said that in its revised Campaign Timetable just released, President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, has shown further personal commitment to the cause of the party and its Presidential flag-bearer, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Buhari will now lead the campaign in the 2023 Presidential election, adding that the President has indicated his readiness to be physically present at some of the party’s forthcoming presidential campaign rallies.
Recall that Mr. President, out of his very busy schedule, had earlier attended the flag-off of the Presidential Campaign in Jos on the 15th of November, 2022. This was also after graciously accepting to be the Chairman of the Presidential Campaign Council of the ruling party, the statement said.
In the latest Campaign Time Table released Thursday, 5th January, the President is billed to join the Campaign Train in at least ten States. The States are Adamawa State on the 9th of January; Yobe State on the 10th of January; Sokoto State on the 16th of January; Kwara State on the 17th of January; Ogun State on the 25th of January; Cross Rivers State on the 30th of January; Nassarawa State on the 4th of February; Katsina State on the 6th of February; Imo State on the 14th of February and the Grand Finale in Lagos State on the 18th of February.
The present stance of the President was a turn around from his earlier indifference. Recall that Buhari had at a time urged Nigerians to vote according to their conscience, a statement that did not sit well with APC big wigs who had to send emissaries to the President to be more partisan as the leader of the party.
