2023: Atiku Appoints Melaye As Campaign Spokesman

Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, has appointed Senator Dino Melaye and Daniel Bwala as spokespersons for his 2023 presidential campaign.

The former vice president is still enmeshed in the controversy surrounding his selection of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delate state as his running mate. The furore generated has not yet died down, even as the PDP Board of Trustees failed to reconcile the angry group led by Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers state.

The PDP presidential candidate had pick Okowa against Wike, believed to be the choice of predominantly party members.

The announcement was contained in a terse statement released by Paul Ibe, the media Adviser to the PDP presidential candidate

“Melaye is a politician and a member of the 8th Senate who represented Kogi West Senatorial district. He hails from Ayetoro Gbede in Ijumu Local Government Area of Kogi State.

“Bwala, on the other hand, is a legal practitioner, politician, and public affairs analyst. He hails from Adamawa State,” Ibe said.

Senator Melaye, a staunch ally of Atiku represented Kogi West in the Nigerian Senate.
