The former Vice President said OGD as the Director-General of the organisation is a “very positive and welcome addition to our campaign and I look forward to working with him as he leads over campaign to victory come February 2019.”<\/p>\n

Added the letter:\u201cGoing forward, OGD as the Director General, has overall responsibility for every aspect of the campaign. This includes mobilization and organizing (delegates and supporters), publicity and communication, finance and expenditure. I am in the process of setting up a separate fund raising committee which will work alongside and complement the campaign finance structure.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe DG will also have overall responsibility for personnel, resourcing and campaign staffing and any other political or campaign related matters, that I give my delegated authority.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom now on, my role will be limited to continuing my consultations with the relevant stakeholders in the PDP and in the political landscape as a whole. All campaign or other staff will report to the DG with immediate effect, and all campaign or political matters will also be referred to the DG.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
