The All Progressives Congress (APC) on Wednesday night unveiled a new presidential campaign council list following the controversy that greeted the first one.
The list was released by the national secretary of the party, Senator Iyiola Omisore, as against the previous one released by James Faleke.
The changes in the new list sees the national chairman Abdullahi Adamu rise to number two on the campaign list right below President Muhammadu Buhari who retains his position as the chairman of the council.
Tinubu drops from deputy chairman I to deputy chairman II while the party’s Adamu takes the position of deputy chairman I.
Governor of Plateau State, Simon Lalong, retains his position as director general; while Adams Oshiomhole was named as deputy director-general, operations and Faleke as secretary.
