On Saturday, January 14, Bashir Ahmad, the special assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on digital communication, disclosed on his Twitter page that the president will be joining the APC presidential campaign in 8 states.
The top 2 states on the list are under the control of the PDP. They are:
- Bauchi
- Akwa Ibom
The 2 states are economically viable states as they are significantly known as oil-producing states.
Though Bauchi is a northern state while Akwa Ibom is a south-south state, the Arewa state is one of the 2 northern states where oil drilling just commenced, thus, its economic viability would be important for the ruling APC.
The APC presidential campaign in the 2023 election has been strategic as the president has only appeared at its Jos and Adamawa rallies.
Jos rally is the launching of the campaign while the president might have appeared in Adamawa because the party is presenting a female candidate, Aishatu Binani.
Binani is contesting to unseat Ahmadu Fintiri, a PDP incumbent who is contesting for a second term in office and the state is also the home of Atiku Abubakar, the PDP presidential candidate.
