The Presidency has said Aliko Dangote, is not a member of the party’s Presidential Campaign Council, PCC, as erroneously announced on Friday.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, who made the clarification in a statement on Friday in Abuja, said Dangote was not a card-carrying member of the APC, and so cannot be in the PCC.
The statement read: “It has become imperative to further clarify the status of Alhaji Aliko Dangote, named under the sub-head ADVISORY MEMBERS in the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council announced on Friday, December 28, 2018.
“Africa’s richest man, not being a card-carrying member of APC, cannot, and is not member of the PCC.

“He is also a member of the Peace Committee, and thus cannot be in a partisan campaign council.’’
While announcing the constitution of the Presidential Campaign Committee on Friday, the presidential aide had listed Aliko Dangote alongside others as members of the Special Advisory Committee to President Muhammadu Buhari.
