According to the proposed schedule, the campaign will commence in Kaduna State on October 24, 2026, and conclude with a grand finale in Lagos on January 9, 2027, spanning nearly three months of political activities across the country.
The itinerary, which covers the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory, identifies 12 major campaign locations spread across Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones.

Tinubu is subsequently expected in Maiduguri, Borno State, on November 25, before proceeding to Enugu on November 28 and Bauchi on November 29.
The December leg of the proposed tour will begin in Sokoto on December 4, followed by Asaba, Delta State, on December 12 and Kano on December 17.
After the December activities, the presidential campaign is scheduled to resume in Yola, Adamawa State, on January 4, 2027.

The itinerary remains a proposed programme, with dates and venues subject to confirmation or possible adjustments by the party.
