The appointment was contained in a statement issued by the APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, following the approval of the guidelines for the conduct of the party’s presidential primaries.
According to the statement, the party also approved the composition of the Presidential Primary Election Committee, Appeal Committee, as well as the appointment of State Coordinators and Collation Officers ahead of the exercise.
