Dangote Is Not a Member of APC Campaign Council – Presidency

The Presidency has reacted to the inclusion of Aliko Dangote in the released members of Presidential Campaign Council ahead of 2019 general elections.

This is revealed in a statement made available to okay by Femi Adesina the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity.

In his words:

“It has become imperative to further clarify the status of Alhaji Aliko Dangote, named under the sub-head ADVISORY MEMBERS in the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council announced on Friday, December 28, 2018.

Africa’s richest man, not being a card-carrying member of APC, cannot, and is not member of the PCC. He is also a member of the Peace Committee, and thus cannot be in a partisan campaign council”, Femi Adesina said.
