President Muhammadu Buhari will, on Friday, lead All Progressives Congress (APC) governors and members of the National Working Committee (NWC) when he inaugurates the party’s 2023 presidential campaign council at the State House Banquet, Abuja.

Bayo Onanuga, the spokesman for the APC Tinubu-Shettima campaign, announced this in a statement on Thursday, adding that the event would signal the formal launch of the party’s electioneering ahead of the 2023 general elections.

The statement said Bola Tinubu, the party’s 2023 presidential standard-bearer, and his running mate, Kashim Shettima, would unveil their action plan for the country’s transformation at the event.

The 80-page document containing multi-sectoral policy options tagged ‘Renewed Hope 2023 – Action Plan for a Better Nigeria’ would be unveiled at the event, said the statement.

“Tinubu will also outline policy options for healthcare, digital economy, women empowerment, judicial reform, federalism and decentralisation of power and foreign policy,” it added. 

The statement also mentioned Mr Tinubu’s promise “to continue to expand the massive Social Investment Programmes of the Buhari administration,” noting that “in his foreword to the document, Tinubu said his plans were conceived after travelling the length and breadth of the country and listening to people from different life strata.”
