Sam Amadi rejects PDP’s appointment as campaign research director

Dr Sam Amadi, Director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thoughts (ASSPT), on Tuesday rejected his appointment as the Director of Research of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)’s campaign committee.
Amadi in a statement in Abuja on Tuesday, explained that the appointment conflicts with his present job.
Amadi   stated that his position requirs a high degree of non-partisanship and hence he could not accept the appointment.
Amadi   commended Governor Aminu Tambuwal for considering him fit for such appointment.
Amadi   had declared: “I am also delighted that the committee is headed by a man of your character and pedigree, someone I have had the honour and privilege of working with in the past.

“I have no doubt that you will, as always, make a huge success of this opportunity.

“Notwithstanding that I am honoured to be appointed as one of the directors to work with you, I humbly want to decline the appointment, and hereby abstain from participating in such a role.

“The decision to decline the offer has stemmed from the conflicts of interest emanating from various responsibilities in which I act as a leader of different platforms where political neutrality and objectivity are required of me.”
