Parts of the statement read, “In this regard, our Presidential Candidate and his Vice-Presidential Candidate have held several productive meetings with the National Leader and the leadership of the party. To ensure inclusiveness, cohesion, and victory, the party at the national level has agreed as follows
“Our Presidential Candidate, Mr. Peter Obi and his running mate, Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, shall nominate the Director-General of the Campaign, Deputy Director-General (North), the Spokesman of the Campaign, Deputy Spokesperson, Head of New Media, the Finance Director, Deputy Finance Director and several others in consultation with the party.
“The party leadership has given a free hand to the presidential candidate and his running mate to make nominations.
“The Finance Director and his Deputy, in collaboration with the National Treasurer of the party, shall manage all campaign funds in the spirit of transparency and accountability, as the party is saddled with the responsibility of rendering accounts to INEC in line with the Electoral Act.
