Ruling APC Starts Presidential Campaign With Special Prayers In Abuja

By Damilare Adeleye

The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has disclosed its plans to commence its presidential campaign with a special prayer session and peace walk in Abuja on Wednesday, 28th September.

The Director, Media and Publicity of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Mr Bayo Onanuga, made this known in a statement issued on Monday in Abuja.

The Nigerian Voice recalls that the Independent National Electoral Commission had scheduled September 28 for the official commencement of political parties campaigns for the forthcoming general elections.

Sequel to that, the APC said all members of its campaign council are to participate in the prayer session after which there would be a peace walk marking the commencement of the 2023 campaign for the party’s presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his running mate, Kashim Shettima.

The statement partly read, “There will be a Peace Walk immediately after the prayers. All nominees will be issued their letters of appointment same day.

“On behalf of the Chairman of the campaign council, President Muhammadu Buhari, our candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima, we congratulate all members of the campaign council.

“The appointments into the council is a call to serve the party which will demand total commitment and sacrifice from all.

It is the council’s strong belief that all members will work hard to deliver a resounding victory for our great party in the 2023 Presidential election.

“We also want to use this medium to express our profound gratitude to all support groups registered with the campaign council. We are aware you have been working assiduously to promote our candidates and the party across the 36 states and FCT.

“There will be a Peace Walk immediately after the prayers. All nominees will be issued their letters of appointment same day.

“The party and the candidates acknowledge your hardwork and great financial and human resources that have been voluntarily expended since we began this journey. We urge you to continue your good work. The PCC will work with the support groups as we move along into the campaign season.

“We encourage other groups yet to formally register with the PCC to do so immediately for proper harmonization.”
