The All Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential Campaign Council announced on Tuesday that the start of its campaigns, scheduled to begin on Wednesday, has been postponed.
The Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council's Director-General and the governor of Plateau State, Simon Lalong, made the announcement.
According to the statement, the campaign council gave a face-saving excuse that the decision to broaden the campaign council list to include more stakeholders was what prompted the change in the timeline.
The governor noted that a new date for the kick-off would be announced soon.
SaharaReporters, however, gathered and 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.
Meanwhile, 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.
