Gbenga Daniel, director-general
of the campaign of Atiku Abubakar, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) for the 2019 presidential poll, says the position of secretary to the
government of the federation (SGF) will go to the south-west if Abubakar wins.
Daniel said this during an
interactive session with reporters in Lagos on Sunday.
He said decisions on major
offices were being given “serious consideration”, adding that no region will be
marginalised.
“We need to understand that the
candidate has control over who becomes his running mate during the election and
who becomes the SGF if he wins,” he said.
“The decisions on major offices
are being given serious consideration and no zone or region will be marginalised.
“The offices of senate president
and speaker of the house of representative will be decided after the polls and
based on what plays out in both houses.
“Aside from major slots, I think
what is paramount to the people of the south-west is restructuring of the
country, which Atiku is very serious about.
“So the issue for the south-west
is not personality or slot issue per say because personalities come and go but
restructuring Nigeria is significant and more symbolic than zoned offices.”
On Abubakar’s manifesto, Daniel
said it would be published as soon as the campaigns kick off.
