Buhari Hands Over Campaign To Tinubu, Says He Doesn’t Want Governance To Suffer

The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola
Tinubu, will now lead the party’s campaigns for the February general
elections as against President Muhammadu Buhari, who is the Chairman of
the APC Campaign Council.

Buhari stated this on Monday while inaugurating the campaign council.

The President said the reason was that he didn’t want governance to suffer because of elections.

Tinubu
and Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo are Co-Chairmen of the Council and by
original plan, were to deputise the President, who ordinarily should
lead the campaigns.

But on Monday, Buhari handed over that responsibility to Tinubu and said he didn’t want governance to suffer.

Buhari
inaugurated the council at the International Conference Centre Abuja,
an event that had the National Chairman of the party, Mr Adams
Oshiomhole, ministers and governors in attendance.

The campaign train will move to Bauchi State on Thursday.
