Atiku Names Akobundu PCC DG, Nasir El-rufai, Dele Momodu Makes List by Newsgeek24(op): 6:14pm On Sep 24

Former Vice President and African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has appointed Senator Augustine Okwudiri Akobundu as Director-General of the party’s Presidential Campaign Council ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The appointment was announced on Thursday by Phrank Shaibu, Director of Strategic Communication of the ADC Presidential Campaign Council.

According to Shaibu, Akobundu will coordinate the party’s campaign structures nationwide and oversee the political and operational activities of the campaign.

The campaign council will be chaired by Kashim Ibrahim-Imam, while former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, will serve as Deputy Chairman.

The council is structured around six major operational directorates, each headed by a Deputy Director-General, with 30 directors assigned specific responsibilities.

Veteran journalist and publisher, Dele Momodu, will head the Media and Communications Directorate as Deputy Director-General. Former Kogi West Senator, Dino Melaye, will be involved in national outreach, mobilisation and public engagement.

Economist and banker, Mohammed Hayatudeen, is expected to coordinate the campaign’s policy structure, while former Central Bank of Nigeria Deputy Governor, Professor Kingsley Moghalu, is also listed as a member of the policy team.

Former Edo State Governor and pioneer National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), John Oyegun, will chair the Campaign Advisory Council.

Shaibu said Akobundu’s appointment was intended to ensure that the various arms of the campaign operated with discipline, coordination and clearly defined responsibilities.

Akobundu is a retired Colonel of the Nigerian Army and a former Minister of State for Defence. He currently represents Abia Central Senatorial District in the Senate.

A graduate of the Nigerian Defence Academy, he held various command and staff positions in the Army before retiring in 2000.

He later served as Chairman of the Board of Management of the University College Hospital, Ibadan, before his appointment as Minister of State for Defence under former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015.

Akobundu has also held several party positions, including National Vice Chairman, South-East, Zonal Chairman and National Organising Secretary.

Shaibu said the senator’s military, administrative, political and legislative experience would be valuable in coordinating the campaign’s nationwide operations.

He added that the campaign structure was designed to remain lean, with clearly defined roles and measurable outcomes.

Akobundu’s appointment is part of the unveiling of the ADC National Campaign Council and Presidential Campaign Management Committee as the party prepares for the 2027 general elections.

Atiku should respect the unwritten Nigeria zoning formula and support Peter Obi to oust Tinubu, a monumental failure.

We need frugal presidency to pull Nigeria out of the doldrums that Buhari and Tinubu carelessly dragged us into.

Nigeria is now a laughing stock in the commity of nations. Our president cannot attend UNGA because of the fear of being arrested for heroine offenses.

Well done to Atiku.

But I hope the north doesn’t complain when Wike contests the presidency in 2031 since Atiku doesn’t see the need to respect zoning.

I will personally be Wike’s biggest supporter when the time comes.

Let everybody remember the people and person that jailed Mallam.

I remember, when they were shouting that PETER obi restricted him in Anambra Elections, not knowing that TINUBU will jail him, after all Nas El Rufai did for TINUBU and SW.

The Betrayal is deep

I knew Atiku would play the El-rufai card boldly.

You see, the die-hard fundamentalist Fulani people have still not forgiven PBAT on the detention of Mallam Nasir El-rufai.

When Senator Fadahunsi made same statement about the kpaing of Accord party stalwarts during the last Osun Gubernatorial Elections they expected same action on Mallam Nasir El-rufai on Senator Fadahunsi.

Atiku and Peter Obi should bury their egos and work together.

Most Facebook online polls that have been surveyed with predominance of Northerners shows an overwhelming support for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar whilst in the surveys conducted on Facebook with predominance of followers in the South excluding S/W shows a significant voting bloc to PO.

Only the combination can win PBAT for now.
