Govs lead Buhari’s campaign onslaught as state coordinators

Governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have been pencilled down to lead President Muhammadu Buhari’s campaign for the 2019 general elections in their respective states even as the party has concluded arrangements to flag-off its presidential campaign.

The governors are to serve as State Campaign Coordinators (SCCs) for Buhari’s re-election.

The ruling party, unlike the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is yet to kick-start its presidential campaign, but New Telegraph exclusively gathered yesterday that a list of members of the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) to be headed by the President would be released possibly this week or next.

Other members of the council, it was further gathered, are Vice President Yemi Osibanjo; the APC National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, who is to serve as deputy chairman; the party’s National Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, and the Director-General of the Buhari Campaign Organisation, Chibuike Amaechi.

This is as the newspaper also learnt that Buhari told APC faithful and his supporters, who are worried that he is yet to flag-off his campaign to calm down, as he understands the game more than them.
