Confusion over APC presidential campaign in Kwara on Tuesday

There is lingering confusion over the scheduled presidential campaign of the  All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kara State on Tuesday. However, the State APC in Kwara insisted that the scheduled Bola Ahmed Tinubu/Shetima presidential campaign rally will hold in Ilorin on Tuesday.

The APC State Secretary, Mohammed Salman, in a statement in Ilorin on Monday, declared: “I hereby confirm from the Leader of APC in the state, His Excellency, Gov. Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, that Kwara rally slated for 17/1/2023 will hold as scheduled.

“Please all ongoing arrangements to receive the Presidential Candidate and his running mate, Sen. Bola Ahmed Tinubu/Kashim Shettima, and their entourage henceforth be carried on accordingly,” Salma announced in a terse statement.

Similarly, the Secretary of the APC Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), James Faleke, confirmed that the rally would hold as planned.

“I hereby confirm that the Kwara Rally slated for 17/1/23 will hold as scheduled. Please be advised accordingly,” Faleke stated.

However, the party had earlier in a statement signed by Saadu Salahu on behalf of the Local Organising Committee (LOC) of the APC Presidential Campaign Rally in Ilorin, announced the postponement of the event.

“This is in order to allow President Muhammadu Buhari to lead the campaign.

“The President is scheduled for an international engagement outside the country this week beginning from tomorrow but insists he would like to personally lead the APC Presidential Rally in Kwara State.

“We deeply regret any inconveniences the postponement might have caused our guests and all APC stakeholders,” the statement read in part.
