President Bola Tinubu will attend All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign rallies in 12 states ahead of the 2027 elections.
According to the party’s campaign timetable released on
Thursday, Tinubu is expected to flag-off the campaign in Kaduna on October 24,
before attending rallies in 11 other states.
After the Kaduna rally, the president is scheduled to attend
rallies in Rivers on November 7, Plateau on November 14 and Oyo on November 21.
He is also expected at rallies in Borno, Enugu and Bauchi on
November 25, 28 and 29, respectively.
Tinubu is not scheduled to attend rallies in 13 other states
in November. The states are Cross River (November 2), Gombe (November 3),
Nasarawa (November 4), Ekiti (November 5), Ebonyi (November 9), Jigawa
(November 10), Ondo (November 11), Edo (November 12), Yobe (November 16), Kebbi
(November 17), Akwa Ibom (November 18), Anambra (November 19) and Benue
(November 30).
Tinubu is expected to continue his campaign tour in
December, with rallies scheduled for Sokoto on December 5, Delta on December 12
and Kano on December 17.
His final two appearances are scheduled for Adamawa on
January 4 and Lagos on January 9, while party leaders will represent him at
rallies in the remaining 12 states scheduled for December.
Overall, the president is scheduled to attend rallies in 12
of Nigeria’s 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Three of the states Tinubu is scheduled to visit — Oyo,
Bauchi and Adamawa — have prominent opposition figures linked to the 2027
presidential race.
Seyi Makinde, governor of Oyo, is the presidential candidate
of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), which is also the ruling party in Bauchi.
Adamawa is the home state of former Vice-President Atiku
Abubakar, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate.
At the inauguration of the APC presidential campaign council
at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Wednesday, Tinubu said he would not
attend every campaign rally, saying governance remained a priority.
He, however, said he would make time to address Nigerians
directly as party leaders criss-cross the states and local governments to
campaign for his re-election.
On Tuesday, the APC announced an expanded list of its
presidential campaign council, with Nyesom Wike, the FCT minister; Ademola
Adeleke, governor of Osun; and Chukwuma Soludo, governor of Anambra, among the
notable additions.
