The APC has also scheduled rallies in other states during the campaign period. However, the party’s timetable identifies only 12 states where Tinubu is expected to attend personally, with party leaders and campaign council members expected to represent him at other events.

Tinubu had previously indicated that he would not attend every campaign rally, citing the need to balance electioneering with his responsibilities as President.

The proposed schedule remains subject to changes and official confirmation by the party.
