APC candidate, Bola Tinubu off to London
Mr Tinubu will be meeting with an unnamed group in the UK and he is expected to be back in the country before the official flag-off of the presidential campaign.

The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has travelled to the United Kingdom for a meeting earlier scheduled for last week.

Insiders within the camp of the former Lagos State Governor disclosed that Mr Tinubu will meet with an unnamed group in the UK and he is expected back into the country before the official flag-off of the presidential campaign.

PREMIUM TIMES can authoritatively report that the flag-off of the APC presidential election will hold in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, within the week.

Campaigns for the 2023 national elections will officially kick off on 28 September ahead while that of governorship and state houses of assembly will commence on 12 October, according to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

According to some aides of Mr Tinubu, who spoke to this newspaper, the meeting was scheduled for last week, but the controversies that trailed the composition of the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) led to its postponement.

The sudden trip has also fuelled speculations of another medical trip or meeting with Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State and members of his group, some of who are already in the UK.

Last month, Mr Tinubu had a covert meeting with the aggrieved members of the Peoples Democratic Party led by Mr Wike and some other governors.

“Yes, he (Tinubu) travelled to the UK yesterday. He is to meet with some people in the UK. He ought to have left the country last week, but he had to postpone it because of the whole campaign council list. The meeting is not with the Wike’s group and not for a medical reason.

“Yes the consultation with Wike and others is still ongoing, but this is not about that. A group invited him for a meeting. For now, I cannot disclose the identity of the group,” the source said.


PREMIUM TIMES had reported how the PCC list generated controversy among the Progressives Governors Forum (PGF) headed by Governor Abubakar Bagudu of Kebbi State. The governors nominated five persons each to be in the campaign council.

However, some of the governors were left fuming when the 422-member list was released by the secretary of the campaign council, James Faleke, a federal lawmaker from Lagos State. Their nominees were not properly captured in the list.

According to a top source in the party, the Director-General of the APC PCC, Simon Lalong and Mr Faleke compiled the list which either excluded the nominees of the governors or wrongfully designated them.

The source familiar with the matter added that a comprehensive list is being generated by Messrs Bagudu and Faleke.

“The position of the governors unsettled Mr Tinubu. The governors were very angry. The governor has a Whatsapp group. They dropped five names of people who will represent their respective states in the campaign council. These names were passed to Messrs Lalong and Faleke (but) unfortunately, a lot happened along the way.

“The resolution is that a new list will be released in the next couple of days. Those nominees of governors will assume their intended designations at the directorate level. There are the heads of directorates and members of directorates. Tinubu could not leave until yesterday morning as he had to resolve the matter,” the source said.

Controversies had trailed the release of the party’s campaign council list on Saturday. There were speculations that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo declined membership of the council.

We don't want another ghost in ask rock, we want a president that is agile and constantly in touch with the media and the ordinary Nigerians. Hence, I have decided to vote for Peter Obi.

He has stepped down for his terrorist vice running mate

When shettima comes to power,
Boko Haram will get registered as a
political party and the APC government
will give legal reasons why it not
a wrong move.

Tinubu is too seek for his ambition and
should be more concerned about looking
after his health and resting ..

The North know what they are doing❗️❗️☹️☹️
