APC Convention: Gov. Sule Cautions Party Members Against Overheating The Polity
Ahead of the March 26 national convention of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nasarawa State Governor Engineer Abdullahi Sule has cautioned members of the party against making inflammatory statements that would overheat the polity.
Governor Sule made the call on Wednesday (March 16, 2022) in Lafia at the inauguration of of the state working committee of the APC.
According to the governor, the two former Governors of the State – Abdullahi Adamu and Umaru Al-Makura – who are vying for the National Chairmanship of the party are eminently qualified and can lead the party to success in 2023.
The Governor said all of them are well respected leaders of the party in the State and the State would support any of them that emerge as the National Chairman of the party.
Sule also advised party members and those contesting for various positions to put the interest of the party above their personal interest.
He explained that position is transient, as anyone holding positions today would one day leave for new sets of people to come in whether they like it or not.
“Do not destroy the party today simply because you think you cannot get what you are looking for.
“Anyone who does things to destroy the party because he or she cannot realise his ambition is not a party man and a democrat,” the governor added.
Governor Sule also used the medium to express gratitude to officials of the party and other stakeholders in the State for their support before, during and after the the recent visit by President Muhammadu Buhari.
He then urged the newly inaugurated officials to settle down and mobilise the people toward the success of the party in the 2023 general elections.
Similarly, Ibrahim Balarebe-Abdullahi, Speaker, Nasarawa State House of Assembly lauded the Governor for his leadership in the last three years.
The Speaker said the wards, Local Government Areas and State congresses of the party were rancour-free because of the leadership provided by the Governor.
He therefore on behalf of the Assembly, assured the Governor and the party of the continuous support for the success of the party in all future elections.
Responding on behalf of the newly sworn-in officials, Dr John Mamman, State APC Chairman expressed gratitude to the Governor and other stakeholders for their relentless support and promised to operate an open door policy.
The APC Chairman promised that the leadership of the party would lobby other States to give Nasarawa State to slot for National Chairmanship seat.
