The appointment of Senator Ademola Adeleke, the governor of Osun State, as a member of the campaign council has been authorized by the Peoples Democratic Party’s leadership.
A memo issued by the Director-General of the PDP PCO, Governor Aminu Tambuwal, on Saturday announced Adeleke’s appointment as the Chairman of the South-West Coordinating Committee of the campaign council.
As part of the strategic campaign offices that will guide Atiku Abubakar’s presidential campaign, other important PDP members were also selected.
Dino Melaye, a senator, was chosen to serve as the director of public affairs.
“These appointments are with immediate effects,” Tambuwal said.
See the zonal list below:
Zonal Coordinating Committee:
1. South-East: Senator Theodore Orji (Chairman)
2. South-South: Senator Duoye Diri (Chairman)
3. South-West: Senator Ademola Adeleke (Chairman)
4. North-Central: Senator Gabriel Suswam (Chairman)
5. North-East: Darius Ishiaku (Chairman)
6. North-West: Adamu Aliero (Chairman)
The campaign council also made appointments of Zonal Liaison Desk Officers.
Adeleke’s appointment is one of the recent appointments made by the PDP campaign council.
The PUNCH reported that on December 4, former Speaker of House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, was appointed as a member of the PDP Campaign Council.
In a statement, Governor Tambuwal of Sokoto State announced Dogara’s appointment.
Part of the statement read, “The leadership of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council wishes to formally announce that Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara, has been appointed as a member of the Presidential Campaign Council with immediate effect.
“This is part of our continuous effect in joining hands with our presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to recover our great country, Nigeria.”
Dogara was a member of the All Progressives Congress, who had expressed opposition to the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the party.
He has now been welcomed into the PDP at a Lagos presidential rally of the party.
The development came after the Northern Leaders Consultative Forum comprising Christian and Muslim religious and political leaders in the North, including Dogara, endorsed Atiku.
