The All Progressives Congress (APC) has released a fresh
presidential campaign council list.
The list dated October 19 was signed by Iyiola Omisore,
national secretary of the party, and released on Wednesday.

President Muhammadu Buhari will unveil the party’s manifesto and inaugurate the campaign council on Friday.
The initial list released by James Faleke, a House of
Representatives member and secretary of the council, had elicited pushback
within the ranks of the party.
Governors elected on the platform of the ruling party were
reportedly displeased over the exclusion of their nominees from the campaign
council list which had 422 members at the time.
Some of the governors reportedly threatened to pull out of
the campaigns if their demands were not granted.
Falake subsequently moved to pacify them, saying that the list was incomplete and their nominees
would be added to the update.
The new list released by the party has over 600 names,
including all the members of the national working committee (NWC), the federal
executive council (FEC), the APC national assembly caucus and chairmen of the
party in the states.
The president was named chairman of the council while
Abdullahi Adamu, national chairman of the APC, was tapped for deputy chairman.
Bola Tinubu, the standard bearer of the party, is deputy
chairman II, while Kashim Shettima, his running mate, is vice-chairman.
Faleke still retained his position as secretary of the
council.
