The Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi has been appointed as the Director-General of President Muhammadu Buhari Campaign Organisation for the 2019 presidential election.
This was confirmed in a statement issued on Tuesday by the Secretary of the campaign organisation, Mohammed Dattijo, which announced the appointment of Mr. Festus Keyamo SAN as the official spokesman of the Buhari Campaign Organisation and signed by Rotimi Amaechi as “The Director General” of the President Muhammadu Buhari Campaign Organisation.
Though the appointment of Amaechi, who had served in the same capacity for the 2015 election, seems to have been done quietly, his signature in the capacity of “Director General” on the letter announcing Keyamo’s new role confirms his appointment as the the DG of the Buhari campaign organisation.
Recall that as at January 2018, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina dismissed reports of Amaechi’s appointment as the DG as mere rumour. He stated then, that President Buhari has not decided on running for the election. But the President as at last week Monday, announced his decision to seek a second term in office.
