President Buhari has given full charge of his re-election
bid to the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola
Tinubu. The President made this
announcement when he launched the APC Presidential Campaign Council at the
Abuja International Conference Center today Monday January 7th.
“Even though we have only 40 days, this campaign is going to
tax us all because we intend to touch all corners of our great and vast
country. But I must also add that, though we will all be deeply involved, I
would like to assure the nation that I will do my part without making
governance or my work suffer. Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, my co-chairman, will
be fully in charge and is going to be on 24-hour vigil.
That is to say, the operational buck of this campaign stops
at his table, and I, therefore, urge all of us in the leadership of this
campaign, in the field operations on the campaign trail and in the Secretariat
to consult with Asiwaju whenever guidance is needed.
“It is on this note, and in the name of God, that I now have
the pleasure of inaugurating the APC Presidential Campaign Council 2019.” he
said
