The Deputy Director-General of the presidential campaign council, All Progressive Congress, Adams Oshiomhole, has disclosed why the party’s campaign inauguration was delayed.
THECONSCIENCEng reports that Oshiomhole said the ruling APC campaign inauguration was rescheduled because of the absence of President Muhammadu Buhari and the Director-General of the campaign council, Plateau State Governor Simon Lalong.
Recall that Buhari and Lalong were both in New York to attend the United Nations general assembly.
The former Edo State Governor stated this on Wednesday night while featuring on Channels TV Politics Today.
He said, “As far as I know, the campaign council has not been inaugurated because the chairman of the campaign council, President Muhammadu Buhari was not in the country.
“He was in New York to address the United Nations general assembly. The director-general of the campaign was also in New York for the same purpose and there is no way you want to inaugurate a campaign council in the absence of the president who is also the chairman of the campaign council.
“What do you expect of the council when the director-general who heads the operational wing of the campaign is also out of the country?”
He further stated that he’s unaware of the present location of the APC Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, as he doesn’t report to him directly.
Oshiomhole said, “Well, I don’t report to him (Bola Tinubu) every day, so I am not sure if he is around or not.”
Responding to the possible date for the campaign inauguration, he explained that consultations would be made to fix a new date.
“I am aware the president is back now. I am also aware that the DG is not yet back but will be back by the weekend, and I expect that upon his return, there will be consultations looking at the president and DG’s schedule, and once we have a clear date, that will be done,” Oshiomole said.
