President Muhammadu Buhari will today between 5pm and 8pm unveil what his presidential campaign council called ‘The Next Level’ to Nigerians at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

The INEC Timetable and Schedule of Activities for the 2019 general elections indicated that formal campaigns for presidential and National Assembly elections begin today, Nov. 18.

Festus Keyamo, Director, Strategic Communications for the President Muhammadu Buhari Campaign Organisation, said the ‘Next Level’ is one of two documents the president will present today ahead of full blown campaign.

“President Muhammadu Buhari has decided to first showcase his achievements and projections for the next four years to Nigerians before the official flag-off of the campaigns.

“The event for this presentation is tagged “THE NEXT LEVEL” which will take place at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa on Sunday, November 18, 2018, from 5pm to 8pm. It would be broadcast live from different T.V stations and will be a precursor to the official flag-off of the campaigns.

“At the event, the President is expected to unveil two documents: one that will highlight his achievements in the last three and half years and will also contain other facts to guide supporters in the course of the campaigns; and the other document is titled “THE NEXT LEVEL”, which captures the projections of the Buhari administration in the next four years if given the mandate again by Nigerians.

“A formal announcement as to the official flag-off of the campaigns would be made in the next few days,” the statement said.
