ADC appoints George-Taylor as deputy financial secretary

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) leadership has appointed and inaugurated Rotimi George-Taylor as Deputy National Financial Secretary.

The move became strategic to position the party firmly in the South-West region.

The development was confirmed in a statement signed by the National Director of Communication and Programmes of the ADC, Babatunde Oke.

George-Taylor who welcomed his appointment said, “it is a call to service within the opposition fold.

“It’s a beautiful opportunity to serve, especially in a major opposition party like African Democratic Congress,” he said.

The inauguration took place in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, where the party’s Deputy National Chairman (Political), Bamidele Abdulganiyu Ajadi, administered the oath of office. He was assisted by the six South-West state chairmen and other party chieftains from the national and zonal levels.

George-Taylor was sworn in alongside the South-West leadership of the party led by Rahman Owokoniran, in what officials portrayed as a coordinated regional strengthening move.

The ADC said the appointment was based on George-Taylor’s “track record, political idiosyncrasies, administrative astuteness and meritocracy.”

He has assumed duties at the party’s national headquarters, a step the leadership said has finally laid to rest speculation about a vacancy in the office.
