The All Progressives Congress (APC) has named Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, as the Director-General of the APC Presidential Campaign Organization.
The party expressed hope that Amaechi who lost the tussle for the vice presidential ticket to Prof. Yemi Osibajo will drive the party’s efforts to win the 2015 presidential election.
In a statement issued on Thursday by its National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed, the party said the announcement followed the hugely successful convention at which its presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari, was elected, and the follow-up successful choice of his running mate, Prof. Osibajo.
The statement described Amaechi as a man of courage, principle, outstanding reputation, strength of character, decency and love of country.
It also acknowledged his administrative prowess and organizational skills, adding that all that combined to fetch him perhaps the most important task in the quest for positive change in Nigeria.
