Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola; senator
representing Nasarawa North senatorial district, Senator Tanko Al-Makura and
former Minister of Agriculture, Audu Ogbe, have been appointed to head separate
directorates in the newly constituted Tinubu-Shettima Independent Campaign
Council.
The ICC was established to complement the Presidential
Campaign Council, with a special focus on grassroots campaign and door-to-door
mobilisation of electorates.
This was contained in a statement issued in Abuja by the
Director Media and Publicity Committee of ICC, Ntufam Hilliard Eta.
Eta said the independent campaign council would also focus
on voters’ sensitisation and outreach meetings amongst others.
The statement partly read, “A Special purpose vehicle, the
Tinubu-Shettima Grassroots Campaign Council has been unveiled in Abuja.
“The ICC has His Excellency, Silas Agara former Deputy
Governor of Nasarawa State as National Coordinator. It would compliment the
newly inaugurated Presidential Campaign Council and it focus shall be the
grassroots.”
Eta, a former Acting National Chairman of the APC, also
headed a directorate in the council while former Deputy Governor of Nasarawa
State, Silas Agara, is the National Coordinator of the Council.
Continuing, Eta disclosed that the move was to leave no
stone unturned in their bid to ensure that the APC Presidential Candidate,
Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu, becomes the new occupant of Aso Rock in 2023.
He said, “The ICC would also seek to expand the support base
of the APC Presidential bearer, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu to the hinterlands of
the country.
“It would also adopt door-to-door, hamlet-to-hamlet
campaigns/Visitations, voters sensitization, and outreach meetings amongst
others.
“Among the key Directorates in the ICC are: Contact and
Mobilisation, headed by Babatunde Fashola SAN, Media and Publicity, headed by
Ntufam Hilliard Eta; Reconciliation and Integration Committee, headed by Chief
Audu Ogbe; Supports Groups and NGOs Committee, headed by Senator Tanko
Al-Makura; Finance and Fundraising, headed Alhaji Kashim Iman.”
The development is coming barely seven days after the
President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), led governors, National
Working Committee members and other leaders of party to Tinubu’s Presidential
Campaign Council at the State House Banquet Hall, Abuja.
The event also featured the formal unveiling of the
candidate’s 80-page ‘Action Plan’ for the transformation of the country.
