•Release of campaign list by PCC unfortunate, Bagudu explainsA meeting between the All Progressives Congress governors and the national leadership of the party, led by the national chairman, Senator Abdulahi Adamu, yesterday, failed to reach a compromise on the commencement date for the 2023 elections campaign.
APC had also initially scheduled a Peace Walk and Prayers on September 28 to officially kick-off campaigns for the 2023 presidential election and other activities, before the campaign was put off indefinitely. Yesterday’s meeting between the APC governors and the party’s leadership was part of efforts to get everyone on board and also address the grievances of stakeholders.
Asked when the ruling party would commence its campaign, the national chairman said the party would determine when the campaign would start, adding that they cannot run faster than their shadows. He said, “Essentially, we want to interact with our governors, who are the custodians of the fate of APC in their various states that they are privileged by God to lead at this point in time of Nigeria’s democratic dispensation.
Chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum and Governor of Kebbi State, Atiku Bagudu, described the release of the 422-member campaign list as unfortunate. But Bagudu assured members that the issue would be sorted out.
