The presidential campaign team announced on Monday that the president
would be kicking off his re-election bid in Lagos, on Thursday.
Sources close to the party revealed that the choice
of Lagos was accepted due to the fact that the city hosts the largest
voter population in the country.
It was also decided that as a former Federal Capital, Lagos is a mini
Nigeria, which indicates that talking to the Lagos audience is like
talking to the entire Nigeria.
The president, it was gathered, would, during the campaign, celebrate some of his key achievements in the last four years.
A top member of the party said that some of the achievements recorded
by the president in the South-West would also be celebrated.
A strong supporter base of 250,000 persons is being mobilised across
the South-West states to welcome the president to Lagos, another source
said on Monday.
There were indications that some leaders had proposed Enugu for the kick-off, before the choice of Lagos was concluded.
Besides, it was also stated that Tafawa Balewa Square, which would be
used as venue, was the same venue where Nigeria gained its independence
from the British colonialists. ...NigerianTribune
