A pro-Buhari group known as One Destiny Organization (ODO) has applauded the appointment of Festus Keyamo, Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, as Director of Strategic Communications of the Buhari Campaign Organization (BCO).

The National Coordinator of ODO, Ohiri O. Lewis, said the appointment of Keyamo was in recognition of his integrity, commitment and dedication to the cause of President Buhari's reelection.

In a statement made available to journalists in Abuja on Tuesday and signed by Ohiri, also known as NG-1 Designer, the group said: “It is a well deserved appointment. Nigerians know that Festus Keyamo is a committed Buharist, an ardent supporter of the policies and programs of this administration and not a frivolous person.

“He has overtime shown commitment in the president’s war on corruption, he has been steadfast in helping to drive home the new culture of transparency the president wants Nigerians to embrace through his numerous media interventions and has proven beyond any iota of doubt that he is ready to give his all for the reelection project of Mr President.

“We in One Destiny Organization have no doubt whatsoever that Keyamo will bring his youthfulness in driving the positive narrative of this administration.”

Keyamo was via a letter dated April 16, 2018 and signed by Rt Hon Rotimi Amaechi, the Director General of Buhari Campaign Organization, appointed the Director of Strategic Communications.

According to the letter, Keyamo is to be the spokesperson of the organisation both for party primaries and the general elections.

ODO also said Amaechi exhibited a high sense of good judgement by appointing Keyamo to lead the strategic communications arm of the campaign, saying that with this appointment, the road to the reelection of President Buhari in 2019 has become smoother.

The group has also pledged its commitment to the reelection project and said it would leave no stone unturned in seeing that the project becomes a success.
