The Leadership that has formulated the campaign policy will supervise its execution; the Director-General will have overall responsibility for all aspects of the campaign, including field operations; while the Secretary will be responsible for all administrative and treasury-related activities of the council.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Muhammadu Buhari wants to concentrate on governance and has handed over leadership of the 2019 Presidential Campaign Council of the ruling All Progress Congress (APC) to the the co-chair of the council, the National Leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
