The ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential Campaign Council has announced the postponement of its campaigns which was earlier slated for Wednesday.
The development was disclosed by the Director-General, of the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council and Governor of Plateau State, Simon Lalong on Tuesday.
The statement stated that the adjustment of timetable followed the move to expand the campaign council list to accommodate more stakeholders.
The Governor noted that a new date for the kick-off would be announced soon.
The statement reada; “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”.
This may not be unconnected with the reported protest by the APC governors over the campaign list.
