The purported rift between the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ahmed Bola Tinubu and the National Chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu over composition of the presidential campaign council was not true, the National Working Committee made the denial on Tuesday.
There were reports in some sections of the media attributing crisis between Ahmed Bola Tinubu and the National Assembly, as reasons the APC was unable to unveil the list of its campaign council.
CAPITAL POST reports that the ruling party, apart from naming the Director General of the presidential campaign Council, the acting spokesman and the Chairman and few others, was yet to release names of members of the presidential campaign, thereby giving credence to suspicion that all was not well.
But speaking with newsmen Tuesday evening in Abuja, the APC Deputy National Organising Secretary, Nze Chidi Duru dismissed insinuation that both Tinubu and the APC National Chairman, Senator Adamu have been working at cross purposes.
Duru who confirmed that the announcement of Governor Lalong and Keyamo enjoyed the buy in of the party national secretariat further maintained that both the Tinubu team and the party national secretariat are working together and would unveil the full list of members of the campaign council before the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC) announced the flag off for campaigns.
He said: “There is no power tussle over positions. None of such has happened and the party and the candidate are working together. But it is important to say that we agreed on DG and spokesman.
“The governors will control the structures at the zones. The party can’t be excluded and it won’t even exclude anybody. We will have an embracing and all inclusive campaign council. There is no discord anywhere. More importantly, the party chairman agreed on the issue of DG and spokesman.
“Before the INEC flag on September 28, all other positions will be unveiled. The chairman is leading the conversation.”
