True to our earlier story today, Bolaji Abdullahi, former Minister of Sports, has emerged as the APC Spokesman.
Abdullahi, a erstwhile Editor with ThisDay Newspapers and one of Senator Bukola Saraki’s boys will be taking over from Alhaji Lai Mohammed, now Nigeria’s Minister of Communications.
Both men incidentally are from Kwara State. And the North Central, where the position was zoned.
The election held at Chelsea Hotel, in Abuja. The hotel was initially owned by one Patrick Chidolue, but was later bought over by the humiliated one-time Governor of Bayelsa State, Chief DSP Alamieyeseigha.Of course, in the course of his arrest and detention, the EFCC reportedly took over the place.
Abdullahi, it would be recalled, was a practicing journalist before Saraki lured him into politics. First as a Commissioner, under him, and later as a Minister. Now, he’s become APC’s Spokesman.
He served under ex-President Goodluck Jonathan and like Saraki, he was hitherto with PDP until things fell apart between his godfather and Saraki. Thus, they all had to move to APC.
