The All Progressives Congress, APC, has indefinitely postponed the commencement of campaign activities for the 2023 general election.
The Director-General, Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Counci and governor of Plateau State, Simon Lalong in a statement on Tuesday said the party, which had wanted to start campaign on the official kick-off date of September 28, with a peace walk after which members of the team would pick up their appointment letters, has realized it has to accommodate more members into the team.
“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,” he said, adding that a future date would be announced.

PRESS RELEASE ON ADJUSTMENT OF THE TIME-TABLE OF ACTIVITIES EARMARKED TO COMMENCE CAMPAIGNS BY THE TINUBU/SHETTIMA PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN COUNCIL by Simon Lalong
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.
Thank you.
