Could it be a case of too many cooks spoiling the broth as Atiku Abubakar, serial presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party has named Kola Ologbondiyan as one of his campaign spokespersons.
This brings the number to four.
Paul Ibe, media adviser to Abubakar, announced the appointment in a statement on Thursday and it takes immediate effect.
Abubakar had earlier appointed Daniel Bwala, Dino Melaye, and Charles Aniagwu as spokespersons for his presidential campaign.
The statement reads: “Ologbondiyan joins other spokespersons earlier appointed by the presidential candidate to project the unique selling points of Atiku Abubakar and keep the electorate updated about goings-on in the campaign.
“Ologbondiyan was former National Publicity Secretary of the PDP (Dec. 2017-Dec. 2021). He was Director of Media and Publicity, PDP Presidential Campaign Council (2019 Presidential Election) and now member of National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party.
“He was Special Adviser (Media and Publicity) to former President of the Senate, Senator David Mark (2007-2015). He is a highly experienced journalist endowed with requisite skills of communication.
“He rose through the ranks from being Proofreader and Production Editor to becoming Assistant Politics Editor, Politics Editor, Group Politics Editor, Deputy Editor (Daily) and Digital Editor (Online) of the THISDAY Newspapers.”
