The All Progressives Congress (APC) has indefinitely postponed the kick-off for its 2023 presidential campaign initially slated for Wednesday, September 28, 2022.
The postponement was disclosed in a statement released by the Director-General, Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, Simon Lalong, who also serves as Plateau State Governor.
Lalong blamed the postponement on the need for the 422 members of the campaign council to get on board fully before the commencement of activities.

He said, “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”.
