Tinubu hints at skipping some campaign rallies

President Bola Tinubu has suggested that he might not attend every rally during his reelection campaign. The announcement came during his speech at the inauguration of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council at Aso Rock, Abuja. Tinubu explained that he had been advised not to let campaign demands interfere with his duty to run the country, emphasizing that Nigeria requires his full attention at the moment.

At the inauguration, Tinubu informed the campaign council, led by Senator Abdulaziz Yari, that he would not be able to join all the campaign rallies. He stated, "You have warned me and asked me not to allow the rigour of the campaign to distract me from governance," and expressed his agreement with this decision. Tinubu clarified that Nigeria urgently needs more attention and that the office's responsibilities do not pause.

However, he assured the campaign council that he would still personally engage with Nigerians, allowing Yari and others to lead the campaign in different regions. Tinubu described the council's inauguration as a renewal of commitment to Nigerians and the party's responsibilities, stating that the council would communicate the administration's vision, achievements, and agenda to voters across the country, ultimately leading them to victory in every ward.
