Tijani Tumsah, the Coordinator of the Tinubu/Shettima Support Group for the North-East, has said that the All Progressive Congress, APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, will decide which events he will attend.
He stated this on Sunday while speaking on a political show: Sunday Politics on Channels Television.
Tumsah said Tinubu cannot be at all events at the same time, adding that the ones the APC candidate can attend, he will, and the ones he can’t, he will be ably represented.
Recall that Tinubu had come under fire recently for being absent during the signing of the 2023 election peace pact where he was represented by his running mate, Kashim Shettima.
He said, “The presidential candidate will decide which event he will attend and the ones he cannot, he will be ably represented. And by the way, the rally in Lagos, there was a composite rally also held somewhere. So the presidential candidate does not need to be at both places at the same time. Now, there are multiplicity of events that happen, you do not expect the presidential candidate to be at all events at the same time.”
Asked if Tinubu will tour all 36 states of the federation during the party’s electoral campaign, Tumsah confirmed that he will just like he did during the primary election.
“Yes, he would, He was at every state of the federation for the primary election campaigns, and he will be at every state for the general elections.”
