President Muhammadu Buhari has declared that former Lagos State governor and national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu will take full charge of his presidential campaign ahead of the February 16 election. The President stated this while inaugurating the 2019 APC Presidential Campaign Council in Abuja yesterday.

Tinubu is the co-chairman of the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC).

Speaking at the brief ceremony, President Buhari said although he will be deeply involved in the campaigns traversing all parts of Nigeria, he would not allow governance issues to suffer during the period. According to him, Tinubu is expected to be on a 24-hour vigil to ensure that the campaign leads himself and the party to victory.

He said: “Even though we have only 40 days, this campaign is going to task 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. “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,” Buhari noted. The President stressed that the operational buck of this campaign stops at the table of the APC national leader. He told members of the APC at the event that his campaign and that of the party would be anchored on the performance of the government in the last four years.
