government of the federation (SGF) will go to the south-west if Abubakar
wins.
Daniel who is the Director-General of the Atiku Abubakar Presidential
Campaign, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2019
presidential poll,said this during an interactive session with reporters
in Lagos on Sunday.
He said decisions on major offices were being given “serious
consideration”, adding that no region will be marginalised.
“We need to understand that the candidate has control over who becomes his
running mate during the election and who becomes the SGF if he wins,” he
said.
“The decisions on major offices are being given serious consideration and
no zone or region will be marginalised.
“The offices of senate president and speaker of the house of
representative will be decided after the polls and based on what plays out
in both houses.
“Aside from major slots, I think what is paramount to the people of the
south-west is restructuring of the country, which Atiku is very serious
about.
“So the issue for the south-west is not personality or slot issue per say
because personalities come and go but restructuring Nigeria is significant
and more symbolic than zoned offices.”
On Abubakar’s manifesto, Daniel said it would be published as soon as the
campaigns kick off.
