The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) has suspended the kick-off of its campaigns for the 2023 election originally slated for Wednesday.

The Director-General (DG) of the Bola Tinubu/Kashim Shettima PCC who is also the governor of Plateau State, Simon Lalong, in his statement revealed this to POLITICS NIGERIA this morning. He said the adjustment of the timetable is to accommodate “the growing interests” showed by various political tendencies in being the party of the PCC. A new date for the kick-off is expected to be communicated soon. “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,” the statement reads.

   “However, due to the expansion of the list to accommodate more stakeholders and interests within the APC family, we have decided to adjust the timetable of these activities to ensure everyone is on board before activities officially commence. Consequently, the activities earlier announced for the 28th of September will no longer hold.

“As the ruling and most attractive party in Nigeria, we understand the sacrifices and understanding of our teeming members who are more than willing to volunteer themselves for this great task ahead. It also shows the enormous love that the party members have for our candidates.”
