Amaechi’ appointment as the Director General of President Muhammadu Buhari’s campaign Organisation has been renewed, after his heroic victory in the 2015 Presidential election, as the Minister of Transport will now work as the Secretary/ Director General whose members are yet to be named for the 2019 Presidential election.
The President made this known via his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity Mallam Garba Shehu, where he praised Rotimi for his job in 2015 that brought in President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC) to power and also the renovation of the President Muhammadu Buhari campaign office in Abuja.
The statement released by Garba Shehu appointing Mr Rotimi Amaechi reads:
President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the appointment of a campaign organization for his re-election in 2019 with Hon. Chibuike Amaechi as Secretary/Director General.
Hon. Amaechi was the Director General of the Buhari-Osinbajo Presidential Campaign Committee in 2014-2015 that won the elections and brought the current administration into office.
The new Director-General will announce other appointments into the campaign structure as approved by President Buhari.
This is coming only a few days after the ruling party APC announced a shift in the date of their Presidential primaries, as both the PDP and APC have in a series of statements announced a shift in their Presidential primaries.
The President Muhammadu Buharis’ campaign organisation that will be head by the Minister of Transport, just like in 2015, will be looking to replicate same electoral victory to the APC and President Muhammadu Buhari come 2019.
Though with the likes of Senator Saraki, Yakubu Dogara, and the rest moving back to the PDP, it will be a more difficult project this time for the APC. But the master strategist sure will know what to do and replicate what he did in 2015 for his party APC.
The 2019 election battle ground especially for the Presidential election would be in the South West and North Central….we are watching to see how things goes…
