The party unveiled members of the presidential campaign teams on September 16 with the Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, appointed as the Director-General of the presidential campaign organisation and his Akwa Ibom counterpart, Udom Emmanuel, listed as chairman of the PCC.

The Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, was appointed as Vice-Chairman of PCC (North) while Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State was picked as the council’s Vice-Chairman (South).

Makinde and other members of the campaign organisation loyal to the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, later withdrew from the team over the continued retention of Iyorchia Ayu as PDP National Chairman.
