Amid IPOB sit-at-home, Tinubu will campaign in Imo
All Progressives Congress presidential candidate Bola Tinubu has scheduled his campaign rally in Imo State for Monday, November 21, 2022.
Tinubu will be in the South Eastern States – Imo and Anambra on Monday, January 30, according to the presidential campaign schedule released by the APC Presidential Campaign Council.
This is part of the sit-at-home order of the indigenous people of Biafra in the region.
IPOB had declared the sit-at-home order in August 2021 to protest and demand the release of its embattled leader, Nnamdi Kanu, who is on trial for treason and terrorism by the Nigerian government.
The PUNCH reports that often Mondays are usually a day of paralyzed activity in the Southeast regions, with many staying at home or using the day to observe some meetings.
According to Tinubu's revised campaign schedule, there will be a series of rallies in Delta (19), Imo (21), Adamawa (24), Ogun (26), Enugu (29) and Sokoto (30) respectively.
Between December 4 and 10, the campaign team will embark on international engagement with diaspora stakeholders.
However, when asked why the schedule had been changed again, Tinubu campaign spokesperson Festus Keyamo told our correspondent that the schedule of events and dates was a draft of work, which is still subject to further adjustments.
He said: "They are all subject to change or amendment as we progress due to human nature. No one expected the flood, for example. But it came, and all of a sudden it slows down activities and stuff.
"So this is a working draft. At least we have a draft to work with. My final comment on this is that it is Ceteris Paribus. That is, all things being equal."
