Osinbajo missing as Buhari chairs 422-member APC presidential campaign council

Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo is not on the presidential campaign council of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Osinbajo, who is among those who sought the presidential ticket of the ruling party, supposedly fell out with Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, APC presidential candidate, in the buildup to the primary election.

The 422-man list released by James Faleke, the Presidential Campaign Council Secretary, late Friday, has the presidential candidate and the party’s national chairman, Abdullahi Adamu, as deputy chairman 1 and 2 respectively.

In a statement, Faleke said, “We are pleased to announce the nominees of the leadership of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, as per enclosed. All nominees are kindly advised to pick their appointment letters from the undersigned on Monday, 26th September, 2022 at 12noon.
