2023: We have agreed on region to flag-off our campaign – Keyamo

By Adeleye Kunle

Also, the Spokesperson of the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Festus Keyamo (SAN) says the ruling party has agreed on the region where it would flag off its campaigns for the 2023 elections

Keyamo made this disclosure after a-three hour meeting between the presidential candidate of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, APC governors, members of PCC and the party’s National Working Committee (NWC).

He further said that no specific date has been picked for the flag-off of the campaign of the ruling party because the schedule of President Muhammadu Buhari, who is also the Chairman of the campaign council, was being considered.

Keyamo stressed: “You know that the structure of our campaign involves the presidential diary. I have said that our campaign is not going to be like those that they can kick and start like small vehicles. It is maneuvering a 50-ton tanker on a highway and once we hit the highway, it will be in motion and movement.

“Since Mr President is the chairman of the Campaign Council, we are going to take his diary into consideration in picking and choosing the date. However, we have all virtually agreed to hit the street very soon. We have also agreed on the region we are going to kick-start but I won’t say that now. We have also agreed on all the basic issues. We just want to carry along the leader of the party, Mr President and hit the street.”

The spokesperson also assured that all the organs of the party are united and working in unison towards one purpose.

Keyamo noted that Tinubu presented a draft manifesto to the party.

According to him, “Our candidate is not the type that operates on his own. He carries everybody along. He presented the draft of the manifesto to all the stakeholders that looked at it. And guess what, almost all the stakeholders gave that draft more than 90 per cent passmark
