Tinubu and Wife Attend APC Campaign Flag-off in Kaduna

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and First Lady Oluremi Tinubu departed Abuja for Kaduna State for the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign flag-off on October 24. This rally is part of the APC's efforts to mobilize support for Tinubu's re-election ahead of the 2027 general election.

The event is expected to gather APC governors, National Assembly members, party leaders, campaign officials, and supporters nationwide. The APC Presidential Campaign Council, represented by spokesperson Dele Alake, accused former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and the opposition African Democratic Congress (ADC) of attempting to discredit the rally through misinformation and fabricated documents.

Alake claimed that a photograph misrepresented a security vehicle's presence as evidence of security deployment for the campaign. Additionally, a purported letter alleging that the Kaduna State Government allocated ₦2.3 trillion for the rally was dismissed as fabricated.

The council urged Nigerians to verify political claims circulating online, particularly regarding the rally.
