The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, have been under fire over the names of the members of the National Campaign Management Committee (NCMC).

Naija News had reported that the Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal, was appointed as the Director General for the Committee.

The National Organising Secretary of the PDP, Umaru Bature, made the disclosure in a statement on Thursday in Abuja.

The statement added that the Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel, was appointed as the Chairman of the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), while the Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, was appointed as the Vice Chairman, North.

The Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, was appointed as the Vice Chairman South of the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC).

The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, and other governors are members of the PCC.
