Mr Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, made the clarification in a statement on Friday in Abuja.
The statement read:
“It has become imperative to further clarify the status of Alhaji Aliko Dangote, named under the sub-head ADVISORY MEMBERS in the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council announced on Friday, December 28, 2018.
“Africa’s richest man, not being a card-carrying member of APC, cannot, and is not member of the PCC.
“He is also a member of the Peace Committee, and thus cannot be in a partisan campaign council.’’
A statement earlier issued by the presidential aide on Friday had named Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, Adams Ohiohmole, Bola Tinubu, Sen. Ahmed Lawan, Femi Gbajabiamila, Aliko Dangote and Femi Otedola as members of the Special Advisory Committee to President Muhammadu Buhari.
Other members of the Council, according to the statement, are Chief Bisi Akande, Chief John Oyegun, Sen. Ita Enang, All APC serving Senators and All APC serving and former Governors.
All APC Members of the House of Representatives, all members of the National Working Committee of the APC and all Zonal Women Leaders are also members of the council.

How can Dangote be "dropped" as a member, if he was not "picked" as a member in the first place? With every statement you make, you are simply ampilfying the scope of your stupidity and digging yourself deeper into a hole. Stop thinking that everyone in this country is as stupid, ignorant and clueless as that 60 year old beggar whom you were promoting a few weeks ago just because she claimed that the dullard has never stolen a dime in his life. We are considerably more intelligent than that
He was not dropped and there's nothing to drop, they educated you by saying he's a an adviser and not a council member because you ignorant people don't know the difference.
Dangote is still till this very second an adviser to the president as stated from the beginning.
How h

OBAGADAFFI:
The list you just posted is from APC, no FG.
Otedola And Dangote was your list.
Why the rebuttal for Dangote and not Otedola.
It shows Dangote isn't interested.
Was the list supposed to come from the FG because the FG is a political party and the APC?
Btw, there's a difference between rebuttal and clarification.
lol @ Dangote is not interested.
Newsflash, he's very interested and he's still on the advisory commentate to the President. |

OkunrinOloro:
So what was the essence of announcing Mr. Dangote's name in the first place if he is a non card carrying member? Were they not supposed to have gotten his agreement to serve as an "advisor" before going public with such information? Why have they been forced to swallow their nonsense not more than a few days after they vomitted it? Stupidity all around, from the dullard who made the blunder to the BMCs who are defending him.
1. They put out a list showing Dangote and Otedola as advisers to the president, but many ignorant people didn't bother to read, the names on the list appeared below different headings based on their roles in the campaign, They missed Dangote's name under the adviser heading.
2. APC rightfully clarified and educated the ignorant people that he's not a council member, but an adviser.
3. Clarifying and making sure you understand what you should have is something you should be thanking them for. Thank them for educating you.Instead of shouting on the internet, just learn how to read and comprehend. |

UnchangeableGod:
Sir, you are just playing around with words. Dangote has the right to become a card carrying member of any political party. He also has the right to have his name in the Campaign Council of any party. If he is merely a member of the Campaign Council and not a card carrying member of the APC as you want us to believe, what difference does that make? Why then the rebuttal if Dangote and the ruling party discussed it as you are implying? Who asked for it? Why did it become necessary? Something is definitely fishy? There's nothing fishy, they did not refute anything, they basically clarified and asked you, people, to go back and read the list they put out.
Many ignorant Nigerians thought he joined the APC and they clarified that he's not a member of the APC and cannot be because he's not a card carrying member, he's only on the list as an adviser.
They educated the ignorant people because many of them did not read or even know the difference between counsel and adviser. |

#BBCtrending: The mysterious case of Wendell Simlin
A team of online sleuths claim to have exposed an attempt to smear the former governor of Nigeria's central bank.
Lamido Sanusi - who is widely respected in the international community - was suspended from the bank last month after accusing the government of corruption.
A few days later, a number of journalists were surprised to receive an email from an unknown man, Wendell Simlin, which linked Sanusi with the militant Islamist group Boko Haram. The group is believed to have killed thousands of people in a string of brutal attacks since 2009. But a handful of digital activists who obtained the email say it was actually written by one of the president's aides, after they found his name in a Word document attached. Reno Omokri - social media advisor to President Goodluck Jonathan - is listed as its author in the document properties.
"We just did a simple right click on the document and looked at the 'properties'," says Feyi Fawehinmi, one of the team who carried out the investigation. They also contacted a newspaper to cross reference the email with previous messages sent from Omokri himself, and the metadata seems to be a perfect match, they say.
Sanusi was suspended from the bank by the president after alleging that $20bn (£12bn) in revenue had gone missing from the state oil firm, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation.

Wendell Simlin: American woman accuses Reno Omokri of identity theft
Mr. Omokri allegedly used the pseudonym, Wendel Simlin, in the article circulated to bloggers and journalists but the document digital signature was identical to previous documents Mr. Omokri had sent to PREMIUM TIMES.
The Califonia- based woman, Deborah Campbell, told Sahara Reporters in a series of emails and telephone conversation that her son, based in Hercules, California, is the real Wendel Simlin.
She explained that she is married to Mr. Omokri’s brother-in-law and that the president’s aide exploited the relationship to perpetrate forgery.
“I am the true Wendell Simlin’s mother here in the States. Appalled to find out my son has been a victim of identity theft, judging from the articles I recently read in your newspaper. Reno met my son after I married his wife’s brother,” she said in an email.
“There are pictures on my facebook of Reno’s wife, kids and my ex-husband Godwin Melle. He is Reno’s wife’s brother.”
Mr. Omokri, who was based in the United States before coming to Nigeria to work for Mr. Jonathan, may be soon be facing criminal charges as Ms.Campbell has promised to involve U.S. authorities if her son’s name is not cleared.
Mr. Omokri could not be reached to comment for this story. Calls to his known telephone number did not connect, and he is yet to respond to a text message sent to him.
