Tinubu May Skip Campaign Rallies for 2027 Elections

President Bola Tinubu indicated that he might not attend all campaign rallies for the 2027 elections during his speech at the inauguration of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council at Aso Rock, Abuja. He stated, “You will excuse me from going everywhere with you.

We have bills to pay. The American creditors cannot wait.” Senate President Godswill Akpabio responded to comments made by Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele regarding the inauguration, asserting that Tinubu would lead a united government if re-elected in 2027.

Akpabio described the formation of the campaign council, which includes members from opposition parties, as historic, noting that no sitting president has previously constituted a campaign council involving other political parties since Nigeria's return to democratic rule in 1999. He emphasized that this reflects Tinubu's commitment to an inclusive government focused on unity and democracy.
