Eko Hot Blog reports that the appointment was made public on Thursday by Abubakar’s media advisor, Paul Ibe.
Ibe claims that the appointment is effective immediately.
With Ologbondiyan’s selection, the number of campaign spokespersons chosen by the former vice president now stands at four.
Abubakar had earlier appointed Daniel Bwala, Dino Melaye, and Charles Aniagwu as spokespersons for his presidential campaign.
“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,” the statement reads.
“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.”
