Ex-governor leads Yobe APC campaign council
A former governor of Yobe State, who is the incumbent senator representing Yobe East Senatorial District, Ibrahim Gaidam, has been appointed to head the state's All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign council for the 2023 general elections.
In a statement signed by APC secretary in the state, Abubakar Bakabe, the party said Mr Gaidam will work with Mohammed Hassan, alias Dembu, who has been appointed chief executive of the Campaign Council.< /p>
Until his defection to the APC from the PDP in February 2022, Mr. Hassan was a sworn political enemy of Mr. Gaidam.
Both politicians served in Mr. Ali's administration as finance commissioner and deputy governor.
After Mr. Gaidam became governor in 2009 following the death of Mamman Ali, he did not appoint Mr. Hassan as commissioner.
The 17-member Yobe State Campaign Council for the 2023 general election also has Senate Speaker Ahmad Lawan as an "alternate chair".
The statement adds that the state governor, Mai Buni, would be the vice president of the campaign council with his deputy, Idi Gubana, as first vice president, while Barma Shetima, the state commissioner in commerce, would serve as secretary. .
The board includes three other deputy chief executives, namely Lawan Shetima, Bello Kawuwa and Mohammad Nguru. The trio would serve as deputy general managers of the state's three senatorial areas.
Other council members are Mohammed Bomoi, Tijjani Tumsa, Ahmed Mirwa, Aji Bularafa, Sidi Karasuwa, Alkali Jajere and Samaila Gadaka.
Mr. Bakabe explained that "party leaders have carefully selected the names above because of their commitment, dedication and self-confidence".
He expressed the party's optimism for victory in the 2023 general election.
"The party is optimistic that the board members will deliver and lead the party to success in the upcoming elections," he said.
