President Muhammadu Buhari is set to attend 10 campaign rallies of the presidential candidate of ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, ahead of the 2023 general election.

This was contained in a statement issued on Friday by the spokesperson of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Festus Keyamo.

Keyamo, who is also the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, said the party’s campaign schedule was reviewed to fit in with the schedule of President Buhari.

Buhari has failed to attend the APC presidential campaign rallies after the flag-off in Jos, the Plateau State capital on November 15, 2022.

Keyamo, however, stated: “The Presidential Campaign Council of the All Progressives Congress announces that in its revised campaign timetable just released, President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, has shown further personal commitment to the cause of the All Progressives Congress and its Presidential flag-bearer, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in the 2023 Presidential election, by indicating his readiness to be physically present at some of our 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.

“In the latest campaign timetable released yesterday (5th January, 2023) 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 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 galvanising our teeming members and supporters across the country.

“We urge our party faithfuls 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,” the minister noted.
