President’s Choice of 12 States for Personal Campaign Signals Battlegrounds for 2027
• APC releases nationwide schedule for rally •Tinubu wants another term, but ashamed to face the people, Atiku mocks president •He’s scared to face the electorate, says Makinde/Daura Campaign Organisation
President Bola Tinubu has chosen 12 states for the personal campaign of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, signaling potential battlegrounds in the upcoming January 16, 2027 election. These selected states are Kaduna, Rivers, Plateau, Oyo, Borno, Enugu, Bauchi, Sokoto, Delta, Kano, Adamawa, and Lagos. The decision implies that these states are considered crucial for Tinubu's re-election bid, as he personally campaigned in three states in the 2023 presidential election where he lost – Kaduna, Bauchi, Sokoto, and Adamawa – while winning Rivers, Oyo, and Borno.
This strategy is likely an attempt to recover lost ground and consolidate political influence in various regions of the country.
