The Presidential Candidate of the Action Democratic Party (ADP) Aliyu Bin Abbas, has appointed, Victor Fingesi, as the Director-General for the Aliyu–Ike Campaign Council, ahead of next year’s poll.
He said he was optimistic of defeating President Bola Tinubu, Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, presidential candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC), African Democratic Congress (ADC) Nigeria’s Democratic Congress (NDC) among others.
Abbas said the appointment would serve as efforts to strengthen the organisational capacity, strategic coordination and operational effectiveness of the Aliyu–Ike Presidential Campaign Council.
In a statement yesterday by his Senior Special Assistant on Media, Jacob Onjewu Dickson, the presidential candidate said Fingesi is to provide strategic and administrative leadership for the council, coordinate its various directorates and oversee the implementation of its national campaign objectives.
He added that his responsibilities include developing and coordinating the national campaign structure across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, strengthening grassroots mobilisation, harmonising communications and campaign strategies, supervising approved campaign programmes, and ensuring effective coordination among campaign leadership, appointed directors and relevant stakeholders.
Also, he is expected to monitor campaign performance, identify operational priorities, provide regular reports to the Presidential Candidate and support electoral preparedness in line with the Council’s approved strategic direction.
In addition, the Director-General will report directly to the Presidential Candidate and work in close coordination with the Vice-Presidential Candidate and the leadership of the Campaign Council.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the appointment is strictly limited to the Aliyu–Ike Presidential Campaign Council and does not confer authority over the constitutional organs, elected or appointed officers of the Action Democratic Party (ADP). It neither supersedes the Party Constitution nor overrides lawful party decisions and applicable legal or regulatory requirements. Engagements with ADP structures shall be conducted through the appropriate authorised channels.
“Amb. Aliyu Bin Abbas expressed confidence that the appointment would strengthen the Council’s institutional capacity and advance its commitment to building a disciplined, inclusive, coordinated and result-oriented national campaign.
“The Aliyu–Ike Presidential Campaign Council remains committed to its vision of a new generation of leadership, national renewal, unity, opportunity and a New Nigeria that works for all Nigerians,” he said.
