Atiku Abubakar Forms Lean Campaign Council Elections

Atiku Abubakar, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) flag bearer and former Vice President, has established a National Campaign Council and Presidential Campaign Management Committee ahead of the presidential elections. The council is chaired by Kashim Ibrahim-Imam, with Nasir El-Rufai serving as deputy chairman, despite El-Rufai being in ICPC custody.

Senator Austin Akobundu (Abia Central) is appointed as the director-general and campaign manager. The policy team includes Mohammed Hayatudeen as chairman, Prof. Mohammed Sagagi as deputy chairman, and members such as Prof. Kingsley Moghalu and others.

John Oyegun chairs the advisory board, which includes former governors like Aminu Tambuwal and Emeka Ihedioha. Atiku emphasized that the campaign structure is intentionally lean to reflect the economic challenges faced by Nigerians, aiming for a disciplined and accountable approach to governance.

The campaign will focus on competence, accountability, and measurable results.
