The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council, APC PCC, has disclosed that President Muhammadu Buhari will join the campaign trail of the presidential candidate of the party, Bola Tinubu, in 10 states.
The APC PCC Director of Public Affairs, Festus Keyamo, in a statement on Friday, said the president has indicated his readiness to be physically present at the forthcoming rallies in the states.
Mr Keyamo, who is also the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, stressed that Mr Buhari is committed to delivering the party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 election.
“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 the position of chairman of the presidential campaign council of the ruling party.
“In the latest campaign timetable released yesterday (5th January, 2023), the president is billed to join the campaign train in at least ten states,” he said.
According to him, 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 and Ogun State on the 25th of January.
Others Cross Rivers State on the 30th of January; Nasarawa 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.
While expressing gratitude to the president, Mr Keyamo said the party leader has provided sterling and inspirational leadership for the APC.
He said: “The PCC expresses its profound gratitude to President Buhari, the leader of our great party, for his sterling and inspirational leadership at this time and for galvanizing our teeming members and supporters across the country.
“We urge our party faithful and supporters to turn out en masse, as usual, in the forthcoming campaign rallies.
“The zero hour is nigh; our spirits must be high; we must not relent in this our collective march to our victory that is divinely ordained.”
