2023: Tinubu Arrives In Minna To Meet Farmers, Others
The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has arrived in Minna, Niger State capital for a town hall meeting with farmers and agro-commodities groups.
Naija News reports that the Director of Media and Communications of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Bayo Onanuga, made this known while reacting to Tinubu’s absence from the Town Hall meeting in Abuja on Sunday.
Tinubu was accompanied by his running mate, Kashim Shettima, and other members of the ruling party and were received by the Niger governor, Abubakar Sani Bello.
Onanuga disclosed that Tinubu would have dinner with his campaign patrons in Abuja on Tuesday before traveling to Lafia, the Nasarawa state capital on Wednesday for a town hall meeting on interfaith stakeholders.
He also said the APC president would travel to Calabar in Cross Rivers state on Saturday and then proceed to Imo State next Tuesday for a rally and zonal stakeholders meeting.
He said, “We are in Minna now for engagement with farmers and agro-commodities groups ahead of Monday. The media cannot suddenly come up with a debate and wants us to drop everything we are doing to attend it. It is wrong. We also have our campaign schedule to attend to.
“After Minna, we are returning to Abuja before the next engagement in Nasarawa State on Wednesday. After then, I think Calabar is up for Saturday. You can see that this week is a very busy one for the candidate.
“Again, next week, we will be in Imo State on Tuesday for a rally and zonal stakeholders meeting. It is not on Monday as some people erroneously reported. The earlier schedule people saw was just a draft, which is still subject to amendment.”
