The Presidency inaugurated yesterday an 11-
members committee to coordinate the various groups
drumming support for President Goodluck
Jonathan's 2015 re-election bid.
The President's Political Adviser, Prof. Rufai Alkali,
who inaugurated the committee, said the panel was
to streamline the organisation and structures of the
groups.
Alkali said: "As 2015 approaches, we note that the
circumstances and fundamentals facing us are
somewhat different. The opposition is different: the
political landscape is different, the players are
different and the issues are different.
"Therefore, to succeed in 2015, there is a great need
to re-appraise our strategies and the structures of the
umbrella organisation of the Goodluck Support
Group (GSG), which helped us to victory in 2011.
"To address these issues, the reorganisation of the
GSG has become imperative. I have, therefore,
decided to set up a special GSG re-organisation
committee to study all issues concerning the
organisation and propose a reorganisation structure
that will allow us position for 2015."
The President's aide urged the various Jonathan
support groups to register in the six zonal offices set
up by his office.
Alkali said: "The exercise will enable us to properly
understand these organisations and their objectives
so that we can prepare to partner, coordinate and
work with them to achieve victory in 2015.
"This screening and evaluation will be conducted by
my workers, in collaboration with our state chairmen
and other stakeholders and will be supervised by my
Senior Special Assistant on campaign groups."
The committee is chaired by Gen. Ahmed Ibrahim.
Other members are: Chief Olusola Oke, Nick Eze,
William Makinde, Mohammed El-Amin and Senator
Nimi Amnage.
Others are: Alhaji Lamido Chikaire, Prof. Tony
Edoh, Hajia Barakat Sani, Godson Nnaka and A. Y.
Ahmed.
The committee was given 10 days to submit its report.
