PDP APPOINTS EMMANUEL, TAMBUWAL TO LEAD PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN

The Peoples Democratic Party has appointed Akwa Ibom State Governor Udom Emmanuel as the Chairman of its Presidential Campaign Council, while Sokoto State Governor Amina Tambuwal was named Director-General of the party’s National Campaign Management Committee.

Both men will be leading a campaign aimed at getting the former ruling party back to power after eight years and helping former Vice President Atiku Abubakar realise his ambition of becoming President of Nigeria.

The appointments were contained in a release signed by the party’s National Organising Secretary, Umar Bature, on Thursday. 

Governor Emmanuel, who is chairing the Presidential Campaign Council, will be supported by two other governors.

Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed was named Vice-Chairman of the Council (North), with Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde chosen as Vice-Chairman (South).
