The launch of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential Campaign Council’s campaign, which was originally scheduled to begin on Wednesday, has been postponed.
According to the Independent National Electoral Commission’s, INEC, schedule for 2023, the council will launch its official campaign on Wednesday with a prayer session and peace walk in Abuja, according to a statement from Bayo Onanuga, the director of media and publicity for the council.
However, the postponement was announced by the Plateau State governor, Simon Lalong, and the director-general of the Tinubu/Shettima Campaign Council on Tuesday in Abuja. They said that this was done to make place for the addition of more party chieftains to the council.
The statement is titled, “Adjustment of timetable of activities earmarked to commence campaign by the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council.
Part of the statement reads “Recall that we had earlier earmarked a peace walk and prayers for Wednesday, September 28, 2022, to officially kick-off our campaigns for the 2023 presidential elections.
“We had also announced that the members of the Campaign Council report at the Campaign Headquarters on that day to collect their letters of appointments.
“However, due to the expansion of the list to accommodate more stakeholders and interests within the APC family, we have decided to adjust the time-table of these activities in order to ensure everyone is on board before activities officially commence.
“Consequently, the activities earlier announced for the 28th of September will no longer hold
“As the ruling and most attractive party in Nigeria, we understand the sacrifices and understanding of our teeming members who are more than willing to volunteer themselves for this great task ahead. It also shows the enormous love that the party members have for our candidates.
“A new date and time-table of events will be announced soon.”
