A former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, Yekini Nabena, has faulted recent remarks by ex-Kano State Governor and New Nigeria Peoples Party chieftain, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, concerning national development and project allocation.
In a statement on Tuesday, Nabena dismissed Kwankwaso’s claims, insisting that no ethnic, religious, or regional sentiment can undermine the legitimacy of a Southern presidency.
He stressed that the South’s completing eight years in power is non-negotiable.
Kwankwaso, who contested the 2023 presidential election under the New Nigeria People’s Party, had accused the federal government of disproportionately favouring the South in project distribution, citing poor road infrastructure in the North and a concentration of development in the South.
However, the Presidency refuted his claims by releasing a list of projects, which showed that President Bola Tinubu’s administration has allocated more funds to northern projects than those in the South.
Also responding to Kwankwaso’s Nabena alleged that “the former governor’s real intention was to incite the Northerners against the current administration and the re-election of a Southerner in 2027 to complete 8 years of a Southern presidency in the seat of power.”
The APC chieftain said such incitement for “a political business or negotiation, like some politicians did in 2019 and 2023 can no longer work because the people now know the real intention.
“The Kano voters now know who is using them for political business and even the political gladiators now understand the tactics of political machants.”
The Bayelsa-born politician, however, dared Kwankwaso to journey through the South-South states by road and compare the condition of road networks in the oil-rich region, where the current President hails from with those in the North.
He said “Is the North inferior or superior to the South after eight years of the North in the helm of affairs of Nigeria?
“Why is Senator Kwankwaso still complaining of under-development in the North when the region just completed its 8 years?
“One will also wonder which of the northern money or resources was used to develop the South? Is it the Gold, Rice or Groundnut pyramid?
“As a politician, we all understand what the former Governor is up to. He is working hard to incite the North against the Southern presidency but that has failed woefully because the South must complete the 8 years in the presidency for fairness and equity.”
The former APC spokesperson firmly stated that Kwankwaso lacks both the ability and influence to intimidate the South ahead of the 2027 general elections.
“You cannot intimidate the South or anybody with Kano votes any longer because as a politician, we all know the game and what you are up to.
“The era of playing religious or ethnic cards is far becoming unfashionable,” Nabena warned.
Chieftains of the Labour Party in Nsulu, Isiala Ngwa North Local Government Area of Abia State, have reaffirmed their unwavering support for Governor Alex Otti and constituted three strategic committees to strengthen the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The resolutions were contained in a communiqué issued on Monday after an extensive deliberation at a strategic meeting convened by the stakeholders’ chairman and the Chief of Staff to the Governor, Pastor Caleb Ajagba.
The stakeholders commended Otti for what they described as the remarkable transformation taking place across Abia State, particularly the execution of strategic projects in Nsulu, including the Abia International Airport, the Umuomaiukwu Smart School and several road infrastructure projects.
They unanimously resolved to strengthen unity within the Labour Party in Nsulu, stressing that every member, irrespective of when he or she joined the party, enjoys equal status and should be accorded mutual respect, inclusiveness and equal opportunity to contribute to the party’s growth.
The communiqué, jointly endorsed by Ajagba and the Joint Acting Secretaries, Dr Chibuzo Emeruwa and Dr Enyichukwu Olumba, said the forum resolved to intensify grassroots sensitisation and mobilisation across all communities in Nsulu “with a view to effectively communicating the achievements of the present administration and consolidating support for the Labour Party ahead of the 2027 general elections.”
The communiqué added, “We reaffirmed our commitment to supporting all candidates of the Labour Party at every level of the forthcoming elections, recognising that the success of the party depends on collective responsibility, unity of purpose and coordinated action.
“We welcome assurances by the Chief of Staff that compensation for persons affected by the Abia Airport land acquisition has been approved by the state government. We are confident that all eligible beneficiaries will receive their entitlements accordingly.
“We commended the ongoing government efforts to address the electricity challenge in Nsulu nation, especially in Umunna Nsulu. We are optimistic that work would commence in the near future.
“We encouraged eligible indigenes of Nsulu to take full advantage of the numerous empowerment and capacity-building programmes of the Abia State Government, including TECHRISE, the Abia Leadership Academy, the Abia Smart School Initiative and other youth development programmes of the state government.”
To facilitate the implementation of the resolutions, the stakeholders approved the constitution of three strategic committees: the Empowerment Committee, the Voter Education and Sensitisation Committee, and the Mobilisation Committee.
The Empowerment Committee was tasked “to identify, profile and coordinate eligible beneficiaries for various government empowerment, entrepreneurship, employment and capacity-building programmes.”
The Voter Education and Sensitisation Committee was established “to educate eligible voters on the importance of Continuous Voter Registration (CVR), Permanent Voter Card (PVC) collection, civic participation and the achievements of the Labour Party-led administration.”
The Mobilisation Committee was mandated to strengthen party structures at the grassroots, foster reconciliation among members where necessary, coordinate stakeholder engagement and mobilise support for all Labour Party candidates ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The stakeholders also appealed for the accelerated execution of ongoing and proposed infrastructure projects in Nsulu, particularly strategic road projects and other critical public infrastructure capable of enhancing socio-economic development across the area.
They urged all members and supporters of the Labour Party to conduct themselves with maturity, civility and political decorum throughout the electioneering period by promoting issue-based campaigns, peaceful coexistence and responsible democratic participation.
The forum further expressed appreciation to Ajagba for what it described as his purposeful leadership and commitment to the development of Nsulu, reaffirming its collective resolve to work in unity towards sustaining good governance and strengthening democratic participation.
The All Progressives Congress in Ebonyi on Monday began its campaign for the August 22 Local Government Area elections at Ikwo with the resolve to garner massive grassroots mobilisation.
The party’s leaders from Ikwo LGA and beyond, in unison, emphasised the need for increased collection of Permanent Voter Cards to secure victory across the 171 wards and 13 LGAs of the state.
Governor Francis Nwifuru, while presenting the party’s flag to its Chairmanship Flagbearer, Mr Chidi Nwode, urged party faithful to unite in ensuring total victory for the party at the polls.
Nwifuru, represented by the state Deputy Governor, Mrs Patricia Obila, described the party’s chairmanship and councillorship candidates as “tested, trusted and marketable”.
“I therefore urge party supporters to embark on issue-based campaigns and avoid actions capable of undermining the peaceful conduct of the election.
“We have presented these candidates to you, and it is therefore your responsibility to go into communities and make them acceptable to the people.
“They are the best products to be fielded, so do not be distracted by negative propaganda,” he said.
He commended the outgoing council Chairman, Mr Sunday Nwankwo, for promoting peace, unity and development, noting that his administration had laid a solid foundation for the incoming leadership.
The Chairman of the occasion and former Ebonyi governor, Chief Martin Elechi, counseled that political campaigns should not be mistaken for periods of rancour and hostilities.
“I urge all political actors to respect the constitutional rights of citizens to belong to any party of their choice.
“We are not here to fight anybody, so nobody should intimidate or attack another because of political differences
“I am confident that the APC will emerge victorious because of the people’s support for the present administration in the state,” he said
Similarly, the Speaker of the Ebonyi House of Assembly, Chief Moses Odunwa, called on party faithful to support APC candidates at all levels as the party remained united for total victory.
“I urge residents to maintain peace before, during and after the election. I also encourage eligible voters to participate actively in the electoral process,” he said.
The member representing Ikwo/Ezza South Federal Constituency at the National Assembly, Chief Chinedu Ogah said the event was the beginning of political mobilisation across the state.
“I urge eligible voters to obtain and safeguard their PVCs ahead of the polls and be assured that every vote will count,” he said.
The APC State Chairman, Chief Stanley Emegha, thanked Ikwo people for their steadfast support for the party as it showed widespread acceptance across the locality.
With barely two weeks to the official commencement of presidential campaigns for the 2027 general election, political parties have intensified behind-the-scenes consultations over the composition of their campaign organisations, with former governors emerging as leading contenders to head the campaign structures of the major presidential candidates.
Investigations by The PUNCH revealed that while the ruling All Progressives Congress is weighing the credentials of former Nasarawa State Governor Tanko Al-Makura and Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma to lead President Bola Tinubu’s re-election campaign, the African Democratic Congress has settled on former Sokoto State Governor, Senator Aminu Tambuwal, as the leading contender to direct former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar’s presidential bid.
The Labour Party, the New Nigeria Peoples Party, the Social Democratic Party and the National Democratic Coalition have also stepped up consultations over their campaign structures, with officials of the parties confirming that announcements on their campaign directors-general and campaign councils would be made before August 19, the date fixed by the Independent National Electoral Commission for the commencement of presidential campaigns.
The flurry of consultations reflects the strategic importance political parties attach to the office of campaign Director-General, regarded as one of the most influential positions in any presidential race after the candidate and running mate.
Beyond coordinating campaign logistics, the DG is expected to supervise nationwide mobilisation, harmonise the activities of campaign councils across the six geopolitical zones, manage relationships with political stakeholders, oversee fundraising efforts, coordinate media messaging and ensure that the candidate’s manifesto is effectively communicated to voters.
With President Tinubu seeking a second term and opposition parties attempting to build a formidable coalition capable of ending the APC’s dominance at the centre, political observers say the choice of campaign managers could significantly shape the intensity and direction of the contest.
Already, preparations have gathered momentum following INEC’s release of the timetable for the 2027 general election, which provides for presidential campaigns to begin on August 19.
The timetable has effectively shifted political parties from internal consultations and candidate nominations to full campaign mode, with attention now focused on assembling campaign organisations capable of reaching voters across Nigeria’s 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.
Although several parties have already unveiled their presidential candidates, many have continued consultations on campaign structures in a bid to strike political, regional and religious balances that could strengthen their electoral prospects.
For the ADC, which recently emerged as the platform of a broad opposition coalition, attention has centred on former Sokoto State governor and serving Senator, Aminu Tambuwal.

Party sources familiar with the development disclosed that Tambuwal was poised to be named Director-General of the Atiku Abubakar 2027 Presidential Campaign Organisation, barring any last-minute changes arising from consultations among party leaders.
If confirmed, Tambuwal would reprise the role he played during the 2023 presidential election when he served as Director-General of Atiku Abubakar’s presidential campaign on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party.
Atiku eventually lost the election to President Tinubu of the APC after a keenly contested race that also featured Labour Party candidate Peter Obi and NNPP flag bearer Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
Party insiders believe Tambuwal’s familiarity with Atiku’s political structure, coupled with his long-standing relationship with the former vice-president, makes him one of the strongest candidates for the position.
A highly placed source close to Atiku told The PUNCH that the former Speaker of the House of Representatives had emerged as the leading choice to coordinate the campaign machinery for the ADC presidential candidate.
When asked who was being considered for the position, the source, who requested anonymity because the decision had yet to be formally announced, replied simply: “Tambuwal.”
The source further disclosed that Tambuwal would work closely with Atiku’s running mate, former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi, in developing and executing the party’s nationwide campaign strategy.
According to the source, “Amaechi will work alongside Tambuwal even though the former Rivers governor is the running mate of the ex-vice president.”
The anticipated appointment underscores the central role both men are expected to play in the ADC’s efforts to present a united opposition front against the ruling APC.

While Tambuwal is expected to oversee the campaign structure and political coordination, Amaechi is projected to spearhead nationwide mobilisation alongside the presidential candidate.
Political analysts note that both men bring extensive experience to the table.
Tambuwal has served as Speaker of the House of Representatives, Governor of Sokoto State for two terms and now represents Sokoto South Senatorial District in the Senate.
Throughout his political career, he has remained one of the country’s most influential power brokers, maintaining close relationships across party lines and playing major roles in coalition-building ahead of successive general elections.
He was among the prominent northern politicians who supported Atiku’s presidential ambitions within the PDP before both men eventually left the party for the ADC amid disagreements over the party’s leadership and direction.
Tambuwal formally joined the ADC in March 2026 after resigning from the PDP, where he had remained one of the party’s leading figures for many years.
Shortly after his defection, he announced that he would not seek another term in the Senate.
Explaining the decision at the time, the former governor said stepping aside would help promote unity within the party and create opportunities for younger politicians to assume leadership responsibilities.
His previous experience in managing Atiku’s 2023 campaign is also seen as a major advantage, especially as the opposition seeks to avoid organisational lapses that affected previous electoral outings.
Meanwhile, a chieftain of the ADC and former Deputy National Youth Leader of the Peoples Democratic Party, Timothy Osadolor, confirmed that consultations on the composition of the presidential campaign structure were ongoing.
Speaking with The PUNCH, Osadolor said the party leadership would meet on Wednesday, with a final decision on the campaign Director-General expected after the meeting.
“They have not agreed on a name yet but they are to meet this Wednesday,” he said, adding that “some names have been suggested.”
His remarks suggest that although Tambuwal has emerged as the frontrunner, the party leadership is still following internal procedures before making an official announcement.
The consultations also reflect the balancing act within the opposition coalition as leaders work to accommodate various political interests while presenting a united front ahead of the election.
For the ADC, the challenge extends beyond naming a campaign Director-General.
The party must also integrate politicians drawn from different political backgrounds into a single campaign structure capable of taking on the ruling APC.
With Atiku leading the presidential ticket and Amaechi as his running mate, party leaders are expected to ensure that the campaign council reflects Nigeria’s geopolitical diversity while also rewarding loyal party members and coalition partners.
The expected appointment of Tambuwal is therefore being viewed not merely as an administrative decision but as an important political signal regarding the direction of the opposition campaign and the calibre of politicians expected to drive Atiku’s latest bid for the Presidency.
The ruling All Progressives Congress is also intensifying consultations ahead of the commencement of campaigns, with multiple sources in the Presidency and the party disclosing that former Nasarawa State Governor, Tanko Al-Makura, and Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, are the leading contenders to head President Bola Tinubu and Vice-President Kashim Shettima’s 2027 Presidential Campaign Organisation.
Although no final decision has been taken, insiders said the discussions had narrowed considerably, with Uzodimma currently enjoying the backing of influential party stakeholders.
According to the sources, the APC leadership is weighing political experience, organisational capacity, regional acceptability and religious considerations before making its final choice.
The campaign Director-General is expected to coordinate what could become the largest campaign operation in the country, considering the APC’s control of the Federal Government and its extensive political structures across many states.
Party strategists believe the position requires an individual capable of harmonising the interests of governors, ministers, federal lawmakers, party leaders and thousands of campaign officials expected to participate in the nationwide mobilisation.
The emergence of Uzodimma as the leading contender is also being linked to broader political calculations within the APC.
Since President Tinubu and Vice-President Shettima are both Muslims, party leaders are said to be considering a prominent Christian political figure to coordinate the campaign in order to reinforce the administration’s message of inclusiveness.
The APC’s decision to field a Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket in the 2023 election generated intense national debate, with many Christian groups expressing concerns over religious representation.
Although the ticket eventually secured victory, party leaders are said to be mindful of sustaining confidence among Christian voters as the President seeks a second term.
A presidency source told The PUNCH that Uzodimma’s emergence would help project religious balance while also rewarding one of the party’s influential governors.
The source said, “At the moment, it is still unclear who will eventually lead the campaign organisation. However, Governor Hope Uzodimma is the person being tipped by party stakeholders to head the APC’s presidential campaign team. That could still change before a final decision is made.”
Imo governor has remained one of President Tinubu’s closest political allies and currently serves as Chairman of the Progressive Governors’ Forum, the umbrella body of APC governors.
His position has placed him at the centre of several strategic engagements involving the ruling party, making him one of the administration’s leading political coordinators.
Al-Makura, another respected party stalwart, is also regarded as a loyal party man.
A founding member of the APC’s legacy bloc, the former Nasarawa governor has played key roles in the evolution of the ruling party from the days of the Congress for Progressive Change through the merger that produced the APC in 2013.
His longstanding relationship with President Tinubu and other party leaders has kept him among the influential figures within the ruling party.
Party insiders, however, stressed that consultations were still ongoing and that additional names could emerge before a final announcement.
Beyond the choice of campaign Director-General, the APC is also expected to unveil a broad-based campaign council comprising serving governors, former governors, ministers, lawmakers and party leaders from across the federation.
For the Labour Party, attention is centred on consolidating the gains made during the 2023 presidential election, when the party recorded one of its strongest electoral performances since its formation.
The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Ken Asogwa, confirmed that consultations on the campaign structure had reached an advanced stage.
According to him, the party already has a Director-General but has delayed the official unveiling pending the completion of the campaign organogram.
He said, “Our campaign structure is being put together. There is a DG in place, although it has not been unveiled officially. I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to start reeling out names ahead of time. The DG is in place, I can assure you. The entire organogram is being fine-tuned as we speak. I’m sure that before August 19, it will be unveiled publicly.”
The Labour Party believes its greatest electoral strength lies in its institutional relationship with organised labour.
Asogwa said the party intended to build its campaign around the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress.
“We have always said that we have the biggest structure in Nigeria that any political party can have, which, in the past, the Labour Party did not harness. That is the institutional membership that we have in NLC and TUC.”
He explained that the party was working to integrate the structures of both labour unions into its nationwide campaign architecture.
According to him, “So, going into this election, the party has decided to weld together those institutional memberships with the mainstream party. So, what we are doing now is to adopt NLC and TUC as our pivot. The entire structure is built around them, including how we are going to even police our votes during the election.”
The LP spokesman expressed confidence that labour unions would provide the party with a nationwide grassroots structure extending to every polling unit.
He said, “I can assure you that we are going to harness that potential during this campaign period. This time, the NLC is back on track and they have not withdrawn that commitment to serve as party agent during the election. They are ready to deploy all their members across the 186,000 polling units in Nigeria to serve as party agents for free.”
The party also believes that such an arrangement would substantially reduce campaign costs.
Addressing concerns over funding, Asogwa acknowledged that the LP could not compete financially with the ruling party but insisted that prudent management of resources would remain its strategy.
He added, “But for the campaign, the model we are adopting is quite different from the model that the APC or any other political party is adopting. We are not going to adopt or run a bogus or outsized campaign when we know that we don’t have the kind of deep pockets that can finance such a campaign.”
According to him, “So our model is going to be very productive but it’s going to be cost effective at the same time.”
He also acknowledged that supporters of the party would contribute towards campaign expenses.
“Sure! Every presidential campaign comes with people who are willing to defray one or two costs based on the belief they have in what stories they have been selling to them and to the public. So definitely there are so many Nigerians who are committed to assisting the party defray some campaign costs.”
On insecurity, Asogwa urged the Federal Government to create an enabling environment for campaigns across the country.
“I will answer this question by urging the government in place to do what is necessary to at least curtail the state of insecurity in the land.”
Recalling the postponement of the 2015 general election, he said, “I remember in 2015, in the build-up to that election, President Goodluck Jonathan shifted the election a bit to allow for the military to allow the military carried out an onslaught against Boko Haram in the Northeast then. And within that period that he shifted the election, the military did a very good job in pushing back the terrorists and allowing people to come out to vote.”
He added, “So I urge the government in place today to replicate the same thing, to see that the insecurity is at least reduced to the barest minimum, to allow people to go out and perform their civic responsibility.”
The Social Democratic Party is equally putting finishing touches to its campaign structure.
SDP National Publicity Secretary, Rufus Aiyenigba, told The PUNCH that unlike some political parties still searching for candidates and campaign structures, the SDP had commenced preparations long before now.
He said, “We already have our strategy on ground long before now. We had our plans well laid out. That was why we became the SDP was the first to announce its presidential candidate among all political parties. He also didn’t spend more than 24 hours before he nominated a renowned public intellectual, Dr. Usman Bugaje as his running mate.”
The spokesman said the party would soon unveil a formidable campaign team.
“I can assure you, we are going to put up a formidable campaign structure in the characteristics of the presidential candidate. Our campaign DG and his team will unveiled very shortly.”
Aiyenigba said the SDP was not overly concerned about campaign financing, insisting that financial resources alone had never guaranteed electoral victory in Nigeria.
He said the party would instead rely on grassroots mobilisation, public goodwill and the personal appeal of its presidential candidate.

“No, as much as I agree with you that funding is important, money alone doesn’t win elections. We all saw the impact Peter Obi made during the 2023 election. Yet, he didn’t have all the billions like the ruling APC.
“The most important funding support you have is the people. And that is what Adebayo is leveraging on. I believe you saw a trending video of the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal endorsing Obi as the best man for the job.
“As much as you are getting the groundswell of endorsements of political influencers like that, you know that there will also be corresponding moral and logistical support to power the project. I can tell you that Prince Adewole Adebayo is by no means a small fry when it comes to capacity to fund his election,” he stated.
Responding to concerns that worsening insecurity across parts of the country could affect campaigns, Aiyenigba argued that the prevailing security situation had, in fact, strengthened the opposition’s message.
He said, “Let me tell you that the campaigns are already going on. Adebayo is the only candidate in Nigeria today who has been traversing the length and breadth of Nigeria. And you see that everywhere he goes, the media follows him, you know that.
“When the president could not even visit Jos metropolis, Adewole went to the neighbourhood and visited the affected families where those things happened. But the president had to turn back from the airport.
“Just two or three months ago, we were in Ilesha, where the whole of Afenifere moved into the party. We don’t see the insecurity as a setback. In fact, it is a major campaign tool for us. All over the country, the people are living in grave despair, fear, anxiety, social tension, uncertainties and all of that.
“They are crying and asking when are we getting out of this? It’s enough campaign on its own. We need to keep assuring the people that a solution is in sight. This is why they need Get the right person in power and you’ll get the right answers.”
Like the SDP, the New Nigeria Peoples Party said it had entered the final stage of constituting its campaign council.
The party’s National Chairman, Major Agbo, disclosed that the National Working Committee would adopt the list of nominees this week before making the composition public.
He said, “Oh, we are working on it. The NWC is expected to adopt one (DG nominees) by Friday this week. Yes, nominations are coming in. Already, we have a committee in place to constitute the campaign council. They are working on it.
“We want to have a broad committee that cuts across all sections of the country. We decided to entrust that to a small committee to be able to come up with what is broadly acceptable. Nominations are still coming in. By Friday, we’ll fine-tune and release the names to the press.”
The NNPP chairman said the party deliberately wanted a campaign structure that reflected Nigeria’s diversity and gave every geopolitical zone a sense of belonging.
On campaign funding, Agbo acknowledged that resources remained important in modern elections but argued that excessive monetisation had become a major obstacle to the growth of smaller political parties.
According to him, “Our position on this issue of campaign funding always is that we must deliberately look for how to go away from this heavily monetised political system, which is stifling to the younger political parties.
“However, I can tell you that we are not afraid of what they have, because as far as we are concerned, we are talking to Nigerians to move away from this issue of monetising our votes and all of that. So, we are not bothered about it.”
He also dismissed suggestions that the ruling APC’s access to government resources would necessarily determine the outcome of the election.
“We also would not want to speak on the war chest that the APC is bringing to the campaign because that is within the speculative realm. Of course, they (ruling party) have not come out to tell you what they are actually bringing for the campaign.
“Of course, funding is a major determinant of who wins elections. But at this level now, we have concertedly spoken to Nigerians on the need to move away from money when it comes to votes casting and all of that. So, we hope that Nigerians will see reasons why they should also look at the younger parties that probably do not have the kind of resources that the party in government has. So, we are not bothered or worried.”
On campaign strategy, Agbo said the party intended to return to traditional grassroots mobilisation.
He explained, “We are trying to adopt the house-to-house, community-to-community and village-to-village approach, using what our people used before they brought in this issue of money factor. We will be using town criers, town halls, community meetings and grassroots meetings.
“Our party all along has always been the party of the ordinary people. So, we don’t want to move away from it. And the only way you can reach ordinary people is to adopt the strategies that are known to them. That is the use of town criers. Those are the things they are used to. So, we want to strengthen that for our 2027 general election.”
On insecurity, he maintained that elections would still hold despite prevailing security challenges.
“We saw it during the build-up to 2023. It looks like there won’t be a Nigeria at the end of the election. But at the end of the day, people were able to move around to do their campaigns and visited where their voter cards are domiciled, to be able to cast their votes. So, I don’t see anything different from that.”
He added, “Funny enough, as I said, in a few days or a few weeks to the election, it will always subside. We are going to see it happen. This year would also not be an exception.”
The National Democratic Coalition also confirmed that consultations on its campaign structure had yet to be concluded.
NDC National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director, said the party leadership was carefully weighing several considerations before naming a campaign Director-General.
He said, “We have not decided on that. We are also meeting and consultation. Once the consultation is concluded, we shall announce the DG of our campaign at the appropriate time.”
