Bola Tinubu, president of Nigeria and presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), is reportedly considering former governors for key campaign roles ahead of the upcoming elections, according to sources. Tinubu, along with Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, is weighing the involvement of former state leaders in managing the campaign strategy, as the political race intensifies (businessday.ng).
In a separate development, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has urged Tinubu to intervene in the pre-election violence affecting the state. Adeleke emphasized the need for the president to prevent a recurrence of past incidents, referencing the 1983 events involving former governor Bola Ige (thisdaylive.com). Meanwhile, members of the Accord Party have endorsed Tinubu’s re-election bid, adding pressure on the administration to address the escalating tensions (thecable.ng).
The political landscape remains volatile, with concerns over electoral integrity and public safety growing. Tinubu’s team is reportedly focused on consolidating support while navigating the challenges posed by regional unrest and internal party dynamics. As the campaign period approaches, the role of former governors in shaping the strategy could prove crucial in determining the outcome of the election.
