The list, released on Sunday, also named Senator Cleopas Zuwoghe as vice chairman, while the party’s National Secretary, Ikenna Enekweizu, was designated council secretary.
Ibrahim Abdulkarim was named Director-General of the Presidential Campaign, while the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director, will serve as Director of Communication and Media.
Former defence spokesperson, Major General John Enenche (retd.), was appointed Director of Security and Intelligence.

The party said the council would work under Dickson’s chairmanship, with Obi and Kwankwaso serving in their designated leadership positions, to deliver what it described as a people-centred and issue-based campaign.
It urged party members, supporters and Nigerians to remain united and focused as it prepares for the 2027 general elections.
“We call on all party members, supporters, and well-meaning Nigerians to remain united and focused as we work together to rescue our country,” the statement said.
