The opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has names eight persons as its campaign spokespersons.
A statement by PDP national publicity secretary Kola Ologbondiyan listed Buba Galadima, Dino Melaye, Akin Osuntokun, Osita Chidoka, Nnenna Ukeje, Segun Sowunmi, Kazeem Afegbua and Umar Sanni as campaign spokespersons.
Ologbondiyan himself completes the list of eight spokespersons.
The statement was released after Melaye announced his appointment as the spokesperson on Twitter.
PUNCH reports that the eight names were arrived at after a heated argument among the members of the council, a majority of whom were said to have what a source called “vested interests.”
It was learnt that the Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign Organisation, which was in place before the ex-VP became the candidate of the party, had its preferred candidate for the position.
Also, the director-general of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council, Senator Bukola Saraki, was also said to be insisting that some of his loyalists be given some juicy positions in the council.
At the maiden meeting of the council in Abuja on Friday, it was gathered that the council was unable to reach an amicable decision on the matter.
However, Saraki told journalists after the meeting that the council would release some names “soon.”
