He was the Director-General of Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso Campaign for President and thereafter served as a member of the APC Presidential Campaign Committee that worked for the successful election of President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015.
The late party chieftain who served the APC as first interim National Auditor was one the stabilizing forces in the party and always identified with progressive causes to strengthen the Party and ensure unity among members. Sadly, the late Akamukali has left us at a critical time when he was needed to contribute to nation building and the implementation of the APC Change Agenda.
