Nigeria: Why Tinubu Will Not Campaign in All 36 States - Campaign Council
Obafemi George said the president will keep governing while the APC mobilizes support and argued no law requires visits to all 36 states.
- On Thursday, President Bola Tinubu announced he will not visit all 36 states during his 2027 re-election campaign, prioritizing governance instead. APC Presidential Campaign Council member Obafemi George defended the decision as necessary to sustain the administration's gains.
- Tinubu justified his limited travel by emphasizing administrative duties, stating "The responsibility of this office does not pause, and we have bills to pay." He warned that American creditors cannot wait for economic attention.
- Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar criticized Tinubu for relying on surrogates to defend his record, arguing the president cannot seek another term after Nigerians endured "three and a half" years of economic hardship.
- ADC spokesperson Kenneth Okonkwo alleged Tinubu is "unwell" and unable to campaign, while Abuja School of Social and Political Thought Director Sam Amadi claimed the president would rely on governors to "cash out" votes.
- George defended the administration's record, claiming 33 state governors support Tinubu because policies tripled allocations. He highlighted the removal of petrol subsidies, noting Nigeria previously spent more than 90 per cent of its revenue on such payments.
