The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, has scheduled his campaign rally in Imo State on Monday, November 21, 2022.
Tinubu will be in the South-East states –
Imo and Anambra on Monday, January 30, according to the presidential
campaign timetable released by the APC Presidential Campaign Council.
This is amid the Indigenous People of
Biafra’s sit-at-home order in the region, which it declared in August 2021 to
protest and demand the release of its embattled leader, Nnamdi Kanu, who is
standing trial on treason and terrorism charges by the Nigerian government.
According to the revised timetable for
Tinubu campaign, there will be series of rallies in Delta (19), Imo (21),
Adamawa (24), Ogun (26), Enugu (29) and Sokoto (30) respectively.
Between December 4 and 10, the campaign
team will embark on international engagement with stakeholders in Diaspora.
However, when quizzed on why the timetable
was amended again, the Campaign spokesperson for Tinubu, Festus Keyamo, told
our correspondent that the schedule of events and dates was a working draft,
which is still subject to further adjustment.
He said, “They are all subject to change or
amendments as we progress due to human nature. Nobody expected the flood, for
example. But it came, and all of a sudden, it slows down activities and all
that.
“So this is a working draft. At least, we
have a draft to work with. My final comment on this is that it is Ceteris
Paribus. That is, all things being equal.”
