President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will directly participate in All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign rallies across 12 selected states as part of nationwide mobilization efforts leading up to the 2027 general elections.
According to the official campaign timetable released by the ruling party on Thursday, President Tinubu is scheduled to flag off the nationwide campaign in Kaduna State on October 24, before heading to 11 other key states across the six geopolitical zones.
Following the Kaduna launch, the President will attend rallies in Rivers on November 7, Plateau on November 14, and Oyo on November 21.
His schedule for late November includes appearances in Borno, Enugu, and Bauchi on November 25, November 28, and November 29, respectively.
The President’s December tour will feature visits to Sokoto on December 5, Delta on December 12, and Kano on December 17, before concluding his direct participation with rallies in Adamawa on January 4 and Lagos on January 9.
Party leaders and designated campaign council delegates will represent President Tinubu in the remaining 24 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Notably, three of the states included in the President’s personal tour—Oyo, Bauchi, and Adamawa—serve as political strongholds for key opposition figures linked to the 2027 presidential race.
Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde stands as the presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), which also governs Bauchi State, while Adamawa State is the home base of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Speaking during the inauguration of the APC Presidential Campaign Council at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Wednesday, President Tinubu clarified that governing the nation remains his primary mandate and that he would not attend every single campaign event.
Emphasizing his approach to the campaign, Tinubu noted, Governance remains a priority,
while assuring citizens that he would make time to address Nigerians directly as party leaders travel to states and local government areas to advocate for his re-election.
Earlier in the week, the APC announced an expanded Presidential Campaign Council list featuring notable non-party figures and regional leaders, including Minister of the FCT Nyesom Wike, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, and Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo.
