President Muhammadu Buhari has
reportedly reappointed his Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, as the
Director-General of his 2019 election campaign.
According to THISDAY, Buhari may have finally made the decision to seek
re-election and has started preparing to campaign.
Amaechi, who led Buhari’s
campaign in 2015, has been issued a letter of appointment for next year’s
election and would make an official announcement on his appointment anytime
soon.
The President has hinted at
contesting a few times in the past, but is refusing to share his aspirations
with many people.
He has, however, discussed the
matter with Amaechi, who had convinced him to run in 2015.
Sources close to the All
Progressives Congress (APC), also hinted that although a majority of party
members are not averse to Buhari’s re-election bid, they have advised that
things be done properly.
The ruling party chieftains
expect Buhari to reach out to them personally to intimate them of his
re-election bid.
