The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, has appointed three youths and a woman as his aides.


Atiku’s spokesperson, Paul Ibe, disclosed this in a statement to newsmen on Sunday in Abuja.

The new appointees of the former Vice President are: Dr Ahmed Adamu, Special Assistant (Youth and Strategy); Aliyu Bin Abbas, Special Assistant (Youth Support Groups); Phrank Shuaibu, Special Assistant (Public Communications); and Mrs Funmi Lamuye, Special Assistant (South-West).


33-year-old Adamu is an academician, petroleum economist and leadership and development expert, who hails from Katsina State, and a pioneer Global President of Commonwealth Youth Council.

He was an international expert at the United Nation’s Global Forum on Youth. He was also ranked among the top 100 most influential young Nigerians by Advance Media Africa.

34-year-old Abbas, an indigene of Borno State, is Director-General of the Atiku Cares Foundation (ACF).


ACF is a philanthropic platform of the former Vice President for humanitarian interventions to vulnerable persons and communities.

“ACF has under the leadership of Abbas, made great impact in bringing succor to the most vulnerable around the country, especially in the Northeast zone,’’ he said.

Ibe said Shuaibu, 43, a publicist and public communications consultant hails from Kogi.

He also said Lamuye, a lawyer and philanthropist, was the founder of Prince Alade Lamuye Foundation (PALF), a vehicle she had used to impact on the lives of the widows in her state, Osun.

“She was until recently a member of the National Assembly Service Commission,’’ Ibe said.

Ibe also said the former Vice President would on Monday kick off his campaign in Sokoto.

Well in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different way and without fighting and by trying to make it clear, and by considering each and every one's opinion, I honestly dunno what to say.

There has never been a dearth of capable hands and professionals in Nigeria, only that they are not been spotted and utilized.

H.E. Atiku sure knows how to pick 'em; unlike one dullard who carried a SAN and put him in charge of three ministries, when there are millions of young, energetic and capable Nigerians ready to hit the ground running.

We the youths will pay you back by voting for you enmasse come Failbuari 2019

The new appointees are: Dr Ahmed Adamu, Special Assistant (Youth and Strategy); Aliyu Bin Abbas, Special Assistant (Youth Support Groups); Phrank Shuaibu, Special Assistant (Public Communications); and Mrs Funmi Lamuye, Special Assistant (South-West).

Three northerners, one from the south west. Is this an indication of how Atiku will make appointments into his government if elected?

If Buhari is to make this kind of northern centric appointments, some people's cries will almost bring nairaland down and this is the replacement they proposing.

God bless my Incoming President
