Amadi expressed his rejection in a letter conveyed to Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State, who is the Director General of the campaign council.
Amadi explained that he is non-partisan, adding that his rejection is not a vote of no confidence on PDP.
In a statement he issued, Amadi explained that such an appointment would lead to a conflict of interest.
Amadi claimed he cannot participate in such a role.
He said: “I humbly want to decline the appointment and hereby abstain from participating in such a role.
“The decision to decline the offer has stemmed from the conflicts of interest emanating from various responsibilities in which I act as a leader of different platforms where political neutrality and objectivity are required of me.
“For some years I have been an analyst on Arise News, which I consider one of the most strategic institutions for national development and sane deliberative democracy through analytical news reporting.
“My role in that reputable media platform also requires non-partisanship, even as I am free to express my opinions.”
PDP recently inaugurated its Presidential Campaign Council ahead of the 2023 elections.
