During the meeting, Buhari presented documents containing the proposal on the structure and operational modalities of the council and directorates for the 2019 election.

He urged members to read the documents and make observations to improve the party’s performances in the general elections.

During the inauguration of the council on Monday, January 7, Buhari announced that APC national leader, Bola Tinubu, would take full charge of the campaign as co-chairman.

He said his decision to take a backseat as chairman of the council was to ensure that the nation’s governance does not suffer during the campaign period.
