The Commander-in-Chief has signaled his readiness to be physically present during the trip of the 10 states that Bola Tinubu, the APC standard bearer, has not yet visited, according to the Minister of State for Labor and Employment.

Keyamo noted that the President, “out of his very busy schedule, had earlier attended the flag-off of the Presidential Campaign in Jos on the 15th of November, 2022. This was also after graciously accepting to be the Chairman of the Presidential Campaign Council of the ruling party.”

In the revised timetable released by the campaign council, Buhari is billed to join the former Lagos state governor in at least ten states.

Among the states are Adamawa (January 9), Yobe (10 January), Sokoto (16 January), Kwara (17 January), Ogun (25 January), and Cross Rivers (30 January).

Along with the grand finale scheduled for Lagos state on February 18, other dates include Nasarawa (February 4), Katsina (February 6), and Imo (February 14).

As the campaign council’s spokesperson, Keyamo commended Buhari, “the leader of our great party, for his sterling and inspirational leadership at this time and for galvanizing our teeming members and supporters across the country,” in an attached statement.

“We urge our party faithful and supporters to turn out en masse, as usual, in the forthcoming campaign rallies. The zero hour is nigh; our spirits must be high; we must not relent in this collective march to our victory that is divinely ordained,” the statement added.
