Professor Labinjo also charged the committee to organize campaign events, rallies and activities by mails, emails, virtual or in person to promote the APC presidential ticket. He advised them to interact and communicate with the media, build relationships with the press, set up interviews and identify media opportunities for the campaign. He said that the committee should help write and develop campaign literature, and coordinate with the APC NIgeria and the APC Presidential Campaign Council in Abuja for the unified talking point of the campaign.
Professor Labinjo further charged the committee to identify and work with credible support groups or individuals for the APC and for the APC presidential ticket, and to mobilize the Nigerians in the Diaspora to make phone calls to their relatives in NIgeria to support and vote for Tinubu.
