President Muhammadu Buhari has reappointed minister of transportaion, Rotimi Amaechi as his Director-General of Campaign Organisation.
Buhari did on Thursday, officially, naming Amaechi as the boss of his campaign organisation for his re-election bid in 2019.
Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, confirmed in a statement.
The statement read: “President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the appointment of a campaign organization for his re-election in 2019 with Hon. Chibuike Rotimi 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.”
Few months back, Amaechi was rumoured to have been so appointed when he announced Festus Keyamo (SAN), as spokesperson of the body.
Many had queried the right Amaechi had to appoint Keyamo who Buhari eventually affirmed.
Shehu said in his statement on Thursday that the former Governor of Rivers States would, with his formal re-appointment, name other appointments into the campaign structure as approved by President Buhari.
