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.
