Governor of Kaduna State, North West Nigeria, Nasiru El-Rufai has said the Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu would brief President Muhammadu Buhari and the party on the formation of the campaign council.
Gatekeepers News reports that El-Rufai said this while addressing journalists after a meeting in Lagos.
El-Rufai said the delegation of APC Governors led by its Chairman, Atiku Bagudu met Tinubu having completed the assignment he gave them on the setting up of the Presidential campaign council.
El-rufai revealed that the Governors have reached conclusion on who the campaign Director General will be but didn’t reveal the name yet adding that Tinubu will further consult with President Muhammadu Buhari and National Chairman Abdullahi Adamu before the APC Presidential Campaign council will be unveiled to the public.
El-Rufai said, “This is a delegation of the Progressive Governors Forum led by our Chairman Dr Atiku Bagudu and the Party represented by the National Secretary. We came to report on an assignment given to us by our Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his running mate to begin the broad consultations and develop a structure for the presidential campaign council. We have done some work on it.
“We have briefed the candidate and his running mate and inputs have been taken and our hope is that in the shortest possible time the candidate will consult more with the party leadership and brief Mr President and get his input and then we formally unveil the presidential campaign council.
“A decision has been taken on the Director General but other positions in the campaign council are still been discussed. The president and the National Chairman and National Working committee will be briefed before a formal announcement.”
