The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP), on Monday, appointed the deputy President of the Senate, Dr. Ike
Ekweremadu as Technical Adviser to its presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku
Abubakar.
In a statement by its national
publicity secretary, Kola Ologbondinya, the party also named the Speaker, House
of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara, Mallam Sule Lamido and Senator
Ahmed Makarfi as Technical Advisers too.
The PDP also named Lamido as the
chairman of Elder’s Council for the campaign.
Other appointments made on Monday
include: Alhaji Kawu Baraje, Technical Adviser to the Director-General of the
campaign, Senator Bukola Saraki, while Dr. Doyin Okupe was named the Media
Adviser to the Director-General.
Ekweremadu had been rumoured to
be secretly working with the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate,
President Muhammadu Buhari.
But, in his series of tweets on
his official Twitter handle Monday morning, Ekweremadu described the rumour as
“cheap blackmail” and “propaganda”, vowing to ensure the PDP coasts to victory
in the entire South-East region of the country.
