2023: Tinubu Launches Presidential Campaign Offices, Vehicles In Minna

The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has commissioned two campaign offices, operational vehicles, and tricycles in Minna, the Niger State capital.

Naija News reports that the office and vehicles were donated by the Chairman of Strategic Communications of the APC Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), Mohammed Idris Malagi.

During the inauguration of the campaign office on Wednesday, Tinubu simply said “I inaugurate this office to the well-being of Nigerians and to the good health of the people.”

The APC flagbearer also commissioned another campaign office in Minna donated by Senator Sani Musa Mohammed and endorsed the governorship candidate of the APC in the state, Umar Mohammed Bago.

Tinubu was accompanied by his running mate, Kashim Shettima; Senate President Ahmed Lawan; Governors Abubakar Sani Bello (Niger); Atiku Bagudu (Kebbi); Abubakar Badaru (Jigawa); Babajide Sanwo-Olu (Lagos);  Babagana Zulum (Borno); Abdullahi Sule (Nasarawa); Abdullahi Ganduje (Kano) and Simon Bako Lalong (Plateau), who is also the Director-General of the Presidential Campaign Council.

A statement from the Tinubu Media Office signed by Tunde Rahman on Wednesday said Tinubu was overwhelmed by the crowd of supporters who thronged to the venue for the rally.

Part of the statement reads, “Tinubu who had come with a prepared speech had to abandon the speech to just express his gratitude to the people.

“Before heading back to Abuja, the APC presidential candidate paid a courtesy call on the Emir of Minna, Alhaji Umar Farouk Bahago, and inaugurated two campaign offices donated by Senator Sani Musa Mohammed and Alhaji Mohammed Idris. 

“In the prepared speech that he couldn’t read, Tinubu promised to ensure that Niger State and indeed all states in Nigeria reap the benefits of the resources they have.”
