To douse the suspicion that President Buhari may be against the presidential ambition of Bola Tinubu, the president has resolved to campaign for Tinubu in 10 states across the country.
NewsOnline reports that the president’s decision has also led to an alteration of the campaign schedule of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
According to the spokesman of the Tinubu/Okowa presidential campaign council, Festus Keyamo, Buhari will join the Tinubu campaign train in Adamawa State, Yobe State, Sokoto State, Kwara State, Ogun State , Cross Rivers State, Nassarawa State, Katsina State, Imo State and Lagos State.
