  "account": "President Bola Tinubu will launch his 2027 re-election campaign in Kaduna on October 24, according to the Director-General of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council, Senator Abdulaziz Yari. The announcement was made to State House correspondents following a briefing with Tinubu at Aso Rock Presidential Villa, Abuja. Yari stated that the President had inquired about the campaign council's progress and discussed the timetable for state visits during the campaign. A meeting to inaugurate the campaign council is scheduled for the 14th of October, with the flag-off campaign in Kaduna set for the 24th. Yari revealed that the campaign team plans to visit states like Port Harcourt in Rivers State and Maiduguri in Borno State, with a full timetable to be released after the council's inauguration. Yari argued that Tinubu's strong presence in both the North and South of Nigeria makes it difficult for any candidate to win the presidency without a base in both regions.",
