BREAKING: Tinubu Appoints Former PDP Chairman, Others As Heads Of Key Govt Agencies

President Bola Tinubu, on Tuesday, March 12, approved the appointments of three nominees as heads of three agencies under the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Administration.

The appointees nominated by the FCT minister, Nyesom Wike, are:

Abdulkadir Zulkarfi – coordinator, Satellite Towns Development Department

Felix Amaechi Obuah – coordinator, Abuja Metropolitan Management Council (AMMC)

Oladiran Olufemi Akindele – coordinator, Abuja Infrastructure Investment Centre.

It was learnt that Obuah is the immediate past chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers state.

He is a former chairman of Ogba–Egbema–Ndoni local government area (LGA) of Rivers state. Obuah, a disciple of Wike, was a governorship aspirant in the oil-rich state in the 2023 election.

The business magnate, however, failed to get the PDP’s ticket in the poll because Wike backed Siminalayi Fubara, the incumbent governor.

A former presidential aide, Tolu Ogunlesi, noted the development.

He wrote on his known X handle: “Immediate past chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers state, Felix Obuah, has been appointed the coordinator of Abuja Metropolitan Management Council (AMMC).

“He is a former chairman of Ogba–Egbema–Ndoni LGA in Rivers state.”
