El-Rufai reveals delay in Tinubu-Shettima’s campaign council

Nasir El-Rufai, governor of Kaduna state, has said that the delay in announcing the campaign council for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and Senator Kashim Shettima is to allow them consult with the party.

He said this after Monday’s meeting between Tinubu and the Progressives Governors Forum, in Abuja.

El-Rufai also revealed the party had chosen a director-general for the campaign council but that the same was yet to be done for the other positions.

“A decision has been taken on the director-general but other positions in the campaign council are still being discussed. The president and the national chairman and national working committee will be briefed before a formal announcement,” El-Rufai stated.

“This is a delegation of the Progressive Governors Forum led by our Chairman Dr Atiku Bagudu and the party represented by the national secretary.”

“We came to report on an assignment given to us by our Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his running mate to begin the broad consultations and develop a structure for the presidential campaign council. We have done some work on it.

“We have briefed the candidate and his running mate and inputs have been taken and our hope is that in the shortest possible time the candidate will consult more with the party leadership and brief Mr President and get his input and then we formally unveil the presidential campaign council.”
