The All Progressives Congress (APC) has released its proposed nationwide campaign schedule for the 2027 general elections, with Edo State conspicuously absent from the list of locations earmarked for presidential campaign appearances, while Delta State is expected to host President Bola Tinubu.
The proposed itinerary, covering Nigeria’s 36 States and the Federal Capital Territory, is expected to commence in Kaduna on October 24, 2026, and conclude with a grand finale in Lagos on January 9, 2027.
The schedule identifies 12 strategic locations for presidential appearances as the ruling party prepares to intensify nationwide mobilisation ahead of the 2027 polls.
The exclusion of Edo State from the designated presidential rally locations means the State is not currently scheduled to host Tinubu for a campaign appearance under the proposed programme, despite its political significance in the South-South region.
Delta State, however, features among the areas expected to receive presidential campaign attention, highlighting a distinction in the proposed itinerary for the two neighbouring States.
The APC’s campaign plan is designed to strengthen party unity, mobilise grassroots supporters and consolidate its political base across the country ahead of the crucial elections.
However, the published schedule remains proposed, and any subsequent changes could alter the locations or dates of presidential appearances.
