2. This is good, &it is gaining traction. Rightfully so.
A lot of people may not understand that some assignments on the campaign structure will need sub-units for it to deliver effectively. This is assured of stronger coordination and information control, on need to know basis.
1. A lot of people don't understand the strategy behind a lean “first Eleven” campaign structure.
@atiku & the @ADCNig struck the right cord in this. An airtight information structure on the block is guaranteed.
However, more younger voices should be include as campaign spox.
ATIKU APPROVES LEAN, PEOPLE-DRIVEN ADC PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN COUNCIL
Former Vice President and Presidential Candidate of the ADC, Atiku Abubakar has approved a campaign structure shaped by the realities Nigerians face every day. When families are struggling with food prices, transport costs and shrinking incomes, a campaign asking for their trust must show discipline in how it operates.
Kashim Ibrahim-Imam will chair the Council, with Nasir El-Rufai as Deputy Chairman. Senator Austin Akobundu will serve as Director-General and Campaign Manager, responsible for turning strategy into coordinated action.
Six Deputy Directors-General will lead the operational directorates, working with 30 Directors assigned specific responsibilities. Dele Momodu will head Media and Communications, while Dino Melaye will lead Contact and Mobilisation.
Mohammed Hayatudeen will chair the Policy Team, working with Professor Mohammed Sagagi and other members, including Professor Kingsley Moghalu, to develop practical answers to the problems Nigerians have put before us. John Oyegun will chair the Campaign Advisory Board.
This is a structure built for work. Every directorate has a duty. Every director has an assignment. Every appointee must account for results.
Our measure of success will be how clearly we address the cost of living, unemployment, insecurity and declining purchasing power—and how effectively we organise to make Nigeria affordable again.

The continuous reference to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialABAT by His Excellency, ex Vice-President Atiku Abubakar in his Press Conference earlier today as ‘Bola’ is very disrespectful and discourteous. He should know better that no matter your differences with Mr. President, for the sake of the country, that office should be accorded all the dignity it deserves. The tone reeks of pain and bitterness in his heart.
After all, he made the outlandish claim the other day that Mr. President is older than himself. It is therefore a contradiction that he would also refer to an ‘elder’ by his first name.
Dr. Uju Anya, is safe. But I have a question for the Nigerian men who think this is an opportunity to bring down a woman whom they don't agree with or like. Know that these white supremacist you are amplifying their nonsense, don’t give a shit about you too.
@LBtohbadt@AnthonyEhilebo@MyksonDosSantos LMAO. What sort of madness are you displaying!
Even in advanced contries and economies, there are subsidies and palliatives for citizens.
