Tinubu Focuses on Governance Over Nationwide Campaign Tour

A member of the media and strategic communications committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, Obafemi George, has explained why President Bola Tinubu will not visit all 36 states during his re-election campaign. He said the president wants to focus on good governance while the party works to gather support for his second term.

Mr George stated that the president looked at the country’s electoral map and decided that maintaining what his government has achieved is more important than going on a nationwide campaign tour.

He made these comments on Arise TV’s Prime Time programme on Thursday, as the APC prepares for the 2027 presidential election.

“The president has looked at the electoral map of the country and decided that what is more important at this time is to sustain the gains for Nigerians,” he said.

Mr George said there is no law that requires a presidential candidate to visit every state during an election campaign.

He added that Mr Tinubu will continue to promote his administration’s policies while ensuring that government work does not suffer during the campaign period.
