APC campaign council postpones inauguration indefinitely over Tinubu’s worsening health

The Presidential Campaign Council of the All Progressives Congress, APC has announced the postponement of the inauguration of its campaign scheduled to start on Wednesday.

Plateau State governor and the Director-general of Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, Simon Lalong, made the announcement on Tuesday.

The campaign council said that the decision to postpone the inauguration was to broaden the campaign council list to include more stakeholders.

The governor noted that a new date for the kick-off would be announced soon.

Saharareporters had reported on Monday that the campaign might not kick off due to Tinubu’s failing health and his departure from Nigeria at midnight on Saturday for London to seek medical attention.

The former Lagos governor was expected to see his doctors at a Central London Clinic on Monday.

“Our principal, Tinubu is sick and tired. He is expected to see his doctors in London today at a Central London Clinic,” a source had told SaharaReporters.

The campaign council’s statement on Tuesday, read, “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.”
