Atiku Abubakar, the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has appointed former Kogi state Senator, Dino Melaye as the spokesperson for his presidential campaign.

In a press release signed by Atiku’s Media Adviser, Paul Ibe, Melaye was named alongside Dr. Daniel Bwala.

“The two appointments take immediate effect,” Ibe said in a statement.

Melaye was a member of the 8th Senate, who represented Kogi West Senatorial District. He hails from Ayetoro Gbede in the Ijumu Local Government Area of Kogi State.

On the other hand, Bwala is a legal practitioner, politician and public affairs analyst. He hails from Adamawa State.

Bwala, who was until recently a chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), defected to the PDP over the Muslim-Muslim ticket of his former party.
