LAGOS NOVEMBER 7TH (NEWSRANGERS)-All Progressive Party (APC) Presidenttial candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu made u turn his initially released timetable that ignored the sit-at-home Monday orders in the South East region of the country.
November 30th was the date set up by Asiwaju to flag off his campaign in Imo state. In what has been analyzed as a strategic move by the Jagaban of Lagos to make a point about his Presidential administration.
However, change is perpetual in certain affairs. Tinubu and the APC campaign council has shifted the campaign dates in the South East from Monday to Tuesday. And the reason is based on the fact that a lot of people might not want to come out on that day of the campaign because of the sit-at-down order.
A source that spoke with Punch Newspaper said, ”If you drive out anyhow in the South East on a Monday, it’s at owner’s risk. The South East is not a place where you can veer into and gather people in the name of politics. So we have to make that necessary amendment in dates, not necessarily because of possible confrontation, but to make people willing to troop out for the rallies.”
