The All Progressives Congress, APC, North-Central Forum has lauded the national leadership of the party for carrying its members along in the recently constituted National Campaign Council for the Ondo State governorship election.
Chairman of the APC North-Central Forum, Alhaji Saleh Zazzaga, in a statement made available to newsmen on Saturday in Abuja, commended APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, for carrying the Forum and other sections of the party along.
Reacting to the development, Zazzaga said the APC national leadership had shown a commitment to integrate and unite all sections of the party.
“We laud the APC national leadership led by Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje for the decision to carry the North-Central Forum and other sections of the party along in the Ondo State Governorship Election Campaign Council.
“The APC North-Central Forum remains committed to the growth and progress of not only our great party, but also the entire Nigeria at large and we will always put in our best to ensure that the country moves to the next level,” Zazzaga said.
The APC North-Central Forum chairman urged Ganduje to continue the policy of inclusiveness in order to give all members the opportunity to contribute to the programs and progress of the party.
He also reassured the APC national chairman of the commitment and support of the North-Central to his leadership.
The APC North-Central Forum, in the same vein, urged the people of Ondo State to come out en masse and vote for the party’s candidate, Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, in the governorship election scheduled for November 16, 2024.
Aiyedatiwa, who replaced late Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, will be contesting the poll with candidates of other parties, including his main challenger, Mr Agboola Ajayi of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Zazzaga said Aiyedatiwa has performed well since he assumed office as governor, following Akeredolu’s passing.
“Governor Aiyedatiwa’s record speaks for him, he has done well and deserves to continue in office to continue his people-oriented policies and programmes.
“We, the North-Central APC Forum, are calling on the people of Ondo to troop out in large numbers to vote for Aiyedatiwa on election day. The APC candidate will take Ondo to the Promise Land and we believe a victory for Aiyedatiwa will consolidate progress and development in Ondo State,” he added.
Zazzaga noted that Aiyedatiwa’s decision to approve N73,000 minimum wage for Ondo workers shows his commitment to the welfare of the people.
In the same vein, the APC North-Central Forum chairman urged Nigerians to be patient with President Bola Tinubu.
Noting that the President has initiated policies towards addressing the country’s economic challenges, Zazzaga urged Nigerians to give Tinubu time for the impact of the policies to manifest.
Urging Nigerians to support the President, he said, “The challenges being tackled by the President are longstanding problems, they were there before he assumed office but he is determined to solve these problems.
“The President has initiated policies that will turn the situation around, and very soon, Nigerians will be better off. All the President needs is support and patience, and with time, the story will change for the better.
“The President is not insensitive, he listens and he understands the situation. He is determined to turn things around in line with his Renewed Hope Agenda.”
