Intense lobbying by various caucuses in the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, may be behind the naming of all members and positions in the Bola Tinubu-Kashim Shettima Presidential Campaign.
Unlike the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, that last week named its Campaign Council, the APC has only named its Director-General, Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau State; and some spokesmen including the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, SAN; former Lagos Information Commissioner, Dele Alake; amongst others.
With barely 10 days to the commencement of campaigns by political parties fielding presidential and National Assembly candidates in next year’s general elections, stakeholders in the ruling party have intensified efforts to grab juicy positions for themselves or their allies.
Stakeholders, including serving and ex-ministers as well as some members of the National Working Committee, NWC, have floated individual support groups for Tinubu, which will have to be absolved into the main campaign council.
