The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Thursday asked the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi to resign from the federal Executive Council.

This is contained in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbodiyan.

The PDP said its call followed the the appointment of Amaechi as the Director-General (DG) of President Muhammadu Buhari’s 2019 re-election campaign.

“If APC has any strand of dignity, then Amaechi must resign as the Minister of Transportation having been appointed and already functioning as the DG of President Buhari’s Campaign.

“Under the constitution of Nigeria, Mr. Amaechi cannot combine the job of a Minister of the Federal Republic with another responsibility such as the DG of a campaign organization.

“Amaechi’s action in accepting the job while still holding office as Minister is in clear breach of the oath of office and the oath of allegiance which he swore in line with the provisions of the 1999 Constitution (as amended). He should therefore resign his office as minister with immediate effect,” he said
