  "summary": "During the inauguration of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council in Abuja, President Bola Tinubu stated he would not attend every campaign event ahead of the 2027 general election. According to Punch, the President cited the need to prioritize governance, economic obligations, and efforts to attract investors. Tinubu noted that the responsibilities of his office must continue and mentioned the need to attend to the country's financial commitments and foreign creditors. Premium Times reported that the President emphasized that governance would not take a back seat.\n\nReacting to the President's remarks, Sam Amadi, the Director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thought, claimed on X that Tinubu will not campaign extensively because he cannot withstand the stress involved. Daily Post Nigeria reported that Amadi alleged Tinubu would rely on state governors to secure votes through various means, and he urged those governors to carry out such work peacefully while allowing opposition parties to campaign freely.\n\nSeparately, Punch Nigeria reported that Ogun PDP chieftain Segun Showunmi has hailed President Tinubu and Nyesom Wike following his acceptance of an appointment to the APC campaign council.",
