The Yobe chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has constituted a nine-man campaign council for the 2023 general elections.
This is contained in a statement by the state APC Secretary, Alhaji Abubakar Bakabe, in Damaturu on Friday.
According to the Bakabe, Sen. Ibrahim Geidam, a former governor of the state, will chair the council, while Sen. Ahmed Lawan, the Senate President, will serve as “alternate chairman.”
He said that Gov. Mai Mala Buni would deputise Geidam and Alhaji Barma Shetima, the state commissioner for commerce, industry, and tourism, would serve as secretary.
Bakabe said that Sen. Mohammed Hassan would be the Director-General, while the trio of Alhaji Lawan Shetima, Prof. Bello Kawuwa and Alhaji Mohammad Nguru would serve as deputy director-general for Zones A,B and C, respectively.
He added, “Party leaders carefully selected the above names because of their commitment, dedication, and the confidence reposed in them.”
”The party is optimistic that members of the council will deliver and take the party to success in the forthcoming elections.”
