The president assigned him [x] the Prime Minister yesterday.

The president assigned him [x] the Prime Minister yesterday.

What should I put instead of [x] there? Is the before Prime Minister required or is it wrong to put it there?

There is something wrong with the original sentence. It makes no sense. Maybe it meant something like this: The president assigned him to work under the Prime Minister yesterday.
