On Monday, January 23, 2023, President Muhammadu Buhari will be returning to the hustings for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima.

Buhari is expected to lead the presidential and governorship campaign of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bauchi, according to a campaign programme released by the secretary of the Presidential Campaign Council, James Faleke.

Buhari will be at the rally scheduled for 8.30a.m. to 11.30a.m.

The rally will take place earlier than other rallies, as Buhari is also expected in Lagos on Monday to begin a two-day visit.

In Lagos, the president will commission the Lekki Deal Sea Port, a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) venture, involving the Federal and Lagos State governments and a private company, Tolaram.

Buhari will also commission the 32-metric tons per-hour Lagos Rice Mill, one of the largest in the world and the 18.75-kilometer 6-lane rigid-pavement Eleko Junction to Epe Expressway.

He is expected to commission the first phase of the iconic Blue Line on Tuesday, as well as the John Randle Centre for Yoruba Culture and History.

For the APC, the presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu will take his campaign on Tuesday to Abia and Ogun states on Wednesday.

Director, Media and Publicity of the  APC Presidential Campaign Council, Bayo Onanuga, said it will be a busy week of electioneering as the candidate and his running mate, Shettima, will also canvass for votes in Benue and Taraba on Thursday.

While the Benue rally is billed for between 10a.m. and 1p.m., Taraba’s will take place between 2.30p.m. and 4.30p.m.

The campaign train returns to Abuja on Friday for the launching by the vice-presidential candidate, Shettima, of the All Farmers Progressive Association and commissioning of tractors for members.

On the same day, Shettima will hold a Town Hall meeting with Livestock Development Group.

The APC in its Action Plan pledges to consolidate on President Buhari’s huge investments in agriculture by setting up commodity exchanges and agricultural hubs in Nigeria’s six geo-political zones.

Zamfara State, where all the APC tendencies in the state have united, will host the last rally of the week on Saturday in Gusau, the state capital.
