  "account": "President Bola Tinubu is expanding his campaign to reach more cities and states in a bid to match the campaigns of his main rivals, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, and Seyi Makinde. The shift in strategy comes as Tinubu considers campaigning across all 36 states of the federation, following the success of Atiku's campaign in Sokoto on November 4. The decision to broaden his tour is prompted by concerns over economic hardship, insecurity, and growing discontent among northern voters, who played a crucial role in Tinubu's victory in the 2023 presidential election. Tinubu has already attended rallies in Akwa Ibom and Rivers states, outside his initially planned 12-state list, indicating that additional presidential appearances remain a possibility. The expanded campaign may require Tinubu to rely more on governors, ministers, and other party leaders in the northern states, as he personally engages with communities where economic hardship and insecurity have become sensitive political issues.",
