The Campaign Manifesto “Renewed Hope” of Tinubu/Shettima of the All Progressives Congress, APC will continue to be refined to meet the fast-changing dynamics and policies of the Nigerian society in the run-up to the 2023 Presidential Election.
The Director of Planning, Research and Strategy Directorate, of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Dr Musa Babayo stated this when he inaugurated members of the Directorate at the Campaign Headquarters in Abuja, Nigeria’s Capital.
Dr. Babayo noted that world is developing at an accelerated speed therefore it was expedient for Nigeria to move its citizens to a knowledge and developmental level that can compete with global standards, hence the need for the Planning, Research and Strategy Directorate of the Campaign to carry out researches and produce reports that can help APC Campaign meet current realities.
“We will also help the campaign to focus the message into the most contemporary challenges that Nigerians are facing today around the Economy, Security and other key issues.
“We are at a watershed moment where the global and local factors around development are changing and evolving at an accelerated pace. As a nation we need to answer critical questions about how to drive our citizenry into a new knowledge based and information driven economy to compete in the globe.
“This Directorate must continue to do active Research to refine the campaign’s Policy positions as factors change in the run-up to the election. The Strategy of the campaign must be attuned to the fast changing dynamics that happen in our polity. For example, the currency changes recently announced by the Central Bank of Nigeria had not been in place when the manifesto was conceived. This event on currency has a Policy impact, needs Research on its impact on the campaign and will lead to Strategic adjustments” Babayo said.
Dr. Babayo added that the APC Presidential Candidate, Bola Tinubu is the best individual to lead Nigeria because his vision which is captured in the manifesto covers the hopes, aspirations and dreams of the country.
