With the return from London last week of the Presidential Flagbearer of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the ruling party is due to release the full list of the Presidential Campaign Council this week, while also laying to rest on the disagreement created by the release of the initial list.The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress , Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, last Thursday arrived in Abuja after a 12-day rest in London.
“However, due to the expansion of the list to accommodate more stakeholders and interests within the APC family, we have decided to adjust the time-table of these activities in order to ensure everyone is on board before activities officially commence. Consequently, the activities earlier announced for the 28th of September will no longer hold,” Lalong had said.
The Independent National Electoral Commission had on September 28, 2022, lifted a ban on electioneering activities. Adamu made it clear that the ruling party would determine when the campaign would start. He said they cannot run faster than their shadow. “We cannot make meaningful progress in the affairs of these states, particularly in an election year that is approaching. We can not plan without the buy-in of our governors so that we can stand together, believing that we share the same aspirations. We will plan together to see how best we can deliver the interest of the party and ensure that victory is ours in the 2023 general election that is by the corner.
While the controversy and disaffection created by the list among party faithful rages, the news about Tinubu’s reported ill health and rumoured death filtered in, especially following his inability to attend the Peace Signing Accord which was signed recently in Abuja by all the presidential candidates.
“Many have said I have died; others claimed I have withdrawn from the presidential race. Well…nope. This is the reality: I am strong, I am healthy and I am ready to serve Nigeria from day one,” he tweeted.
