National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus, has appointed former Minister of Aviation, Osita Chidoka, as Special Adviser on Strategy and External Engagements.
The appointment was confirmed in a statement issued by PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan in Abuja on Friday said that the appointment was with immediate effect.
“Chidoka, who is well reputed for his ingenuity and organisation skills in public office, is expected to bring to bear his analytical expertise and wealth of experience in political strategy development, coordination and implementation, as the PDP sets for the 2019 general elections,” the statement said.
Mr Chidoka was Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) before his appointment as aviation minister by former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2014.
The 47-year-old ran unsuccessfully for the governorship of Anambra State in 2017 on the platform of the United Progressive Party (UPP).
