APM Campaign Urges Tinubu to Engage or Withdraw from Race

The APM campaign has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to either campaign in all states or withdraw from the presidential race. This statement followed Tinubu's announcement during the inauguration of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council, where he indicated he would skip some rallies to prioritize governance.

Richard Ihediwa, Director of Strategic Communications of the MDPCO, condemned Tinubu's decision as a "desperate attempt" to avoid public backlash due to his government's failures over the past three and a half years. Ihediwa asserted that Tinubu's absence from the campaign trail undermines democratic principles and reflects a lack of readiness for a credible election.

He criticized Tinubu for not facing the electorate to defend his record, especially regarding electricity issues and economic hardships caused by recent policies. The APM emphasized that if Tinubu is too fatigued to campaign, he should withdraw, as Nigerians seek a more energetic leader.
