The Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) of the All Progressives Congress has postponed the kick-off of its campaigns earlier slated for Wednesday.
The ruling party had initially scheduled a peace walk and prayers tomorrow, 28 September 2022, to officially kick-off campaigns for the 2023 presidential election.
It had also announced that the members of the campaign council should report at the campaign headquarters on the same day to collect their letters of appointment.
However, the Director-General of the PCC and governor of Plateau State, Simon Lalong, in a statement on Tuesday announced that “the activities earlier announced for the 28th of September will no longer hold.”
Lalong said a new date and timetable of events for the commencement of the campaigns would be announced soon.
The statement read, “Recall that we had earlier earmarked a peace walk and prayers for Wednesday, September 28, 2022, to officially kick-off our campaigns for the 2023 presidential elections.
“We had also announced that the members of the campaign council report at the campaign headquarters on that day to collect their letters of appointments.
“However, due to the expansion of the list to accommodate more stakeholders and interests within the APC family, we have decided to adjust the timetable of these activities in order to ensure everyone is on board before activities officially commence. Consequently, the activities earlier announced for the 28th of September will no longer hold.
“As the ruling and most attractive party in Nigeria, we understand the sacrifices and understanding of our teeming members who are more than willing to volunteer themselves for this great task ahead. It also shows the enormous love that the party members have for our candidates. A new date and timetable of events will be announced soon.”
According to the Independent National Electoral Commission, campaigns for presidential and National Assembly elections will commence on 28 September 2022, while that of governorship and state houses of assembly will commence on 12 October 2022
