Dr. Salami Etudaiye, appointed as the campaign's Director-General, described his role as a "sacred responsibility" and pledged to organize a disciplined and effective campaign machinery. "This is not a ceremonial title. This is a call to battle. I did not accept this assignment to manage a campaign of polite handshakes and quiet meetings.
