President Bola Tinubu will commence his re-election campaign in Kaduna State on October 24, Sen. Abdulaziz Yari has announced.
Yari, Director-General of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential Campaign Council, PCC, disclosed this on Friday while speaking with State House Correspondents after meeting Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He said the president had approved the proposed campaign timetable, adding that the campaign would proceed to Rivers State and Maiduguri, Borno, after the Kaduna rally.
According to him, Tinubu will formally inaugurate the APC PCC, appointed a few months ago, on October 14 at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Yari said the campaign timetable would be made public after the inauguration of the council.
“I just presented a proposed campaign timetable for state visits to the president, and he has approved it,” he said.
“We agreed on how it is going to be done. The inaugural meeting of the PCC will hold on October 14 at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
“And, by God’s grace, on October 24, we are going to have our flag-off in Kaduna State.
“We have the timetable, and we are going to make it available after the inauguration,” Yari said.
On the APC’s chances in the 2027 presidential election, the former Zamfara governor predicted a landslide victory for Tinubu, citing the president’s popularity and the number of states controlled by the ruling party.
Yari said the APC controlled more than 10 states in the South and believed it also controlled more than 10 states in the North.
“This is a calculation; it is not rocket science,” he said.
Yari said Tinubu had changed the situation he inherited since assuming office, adding that the administration’s performance would form part of the party’s campaign message.
“The economy is improving. So, I think we have done enough to tell our opponents what we have achieved.
“We are not promising; we are doing it, and we are going to continue,” he said.
