After naming Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, as a member of the All Progressive Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council Advisory Committee, the Presidency now says that he is not a member of the council.
A statement announcing the constitution of the council by Femi Adesina, on Friday afternoon had included Dangote in a list which also had Vice President Yemi Osinbajo as the chairman of the Advisory Committee with Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Senator Ahmed Lawan (Senate Leader), Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila( Leader of the House) and APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomole as members.
But another statement issued by the presidential spokesman on Friday night stated: “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.”
Says who?
Y Do u want to include him in police, pls leave him alone
Damage control
In a developed nation the likes of Dangote should be in prison. He made money illegally at the cost of poor Nigerians
Are you a saint? You are a pretending and Silent Nigeria thief
He supported the last administration,now the opposition party.bur right now,he is supporting the present administration,the APC and some guys are saying he shouldn’t be supporting them.why?
if the system is working dangote would have rust in prison
Simply because he is a member of the national peace commission as such he should be non partisan or resign from the commission
One of the few good things to come out of Nigeria is about to be destroyed by apc and the gang. Leave dangote alone please
Even if he is, his inclusion would still not save APC from being sheepishly defeated at the 2019 polls.
APC , A SINKING SHIP WANT TO CARRY DANGOTE WITH IT TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA. THINK BUHARI AND HIS SUPPORTERS SAY HAVING INVESTMENTS IS CORRUPTION, WHAT DO THEY WANT FROM DANGOTE AND OTEDOLA.
IS HE ON PDP CAMPAIGN? Plz,don’t drag this man into politics as u did to Abiola.
They should leave them and concentrate on the election
CONFUSION
That is the hallmark of a confused set of people who are called APC.
This is the way they are governing Nigeria that makes everything to be upsidedown as it is now.
Rubbish. He is a member, otherwise they would not have named him amongst members of their campaign officials. His products will suffer from his involvement with APC.
Never straightforward in their thinking and conduct, lacing all their steps and action with deceits beyond comprehension.
Dangote owes so much of his business success to Atiku. I don’t believe he will openly be against Atiku in these circumstances.
Cally Oti can u pls give details of undoing.
They want to rubbish Dangote and Otedola’s name. I don’t think they asked for their consent before adding their names to that corruption list. Adding someone’s name to some thing without the persons consent is corruption.
Lol , APC no go kill me ?????
So be a presidential advisory committee now a subject of arguments. He is not necessarily be a member of the political party but one must know that Dangote & Femi Otedola has been in 1st front of lifting this economy of recession. They are the 2 businessmen that have agreed in building the refinery.
APC fails at every thing including a task as simple as the constitution of a Campaign Committee. The situation in the country today is a manifest of their incompetence and incapacity to lead. How do you appoint a man like Dangote to play such a profound political role without first carrying out a backgroung fitness test and aceeptance by him before going to the press. We dont deserve to endure another 4 years of a clueless ‘next level’ leadership.
I would have said he is tired of opulence and now chosen to sponsor povertocracy.
Confused party
