Bola Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos, has congratulated
Abdullahi Adamu, the new chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Adamu was the preferred candidate of President Muhammadu
Buhari for the party’s chairmanship.
Tanko Al-Makura, an ally of Tinubu, withdrew from the
chairmanship contest shortly before the APC convention that was held on
Saturday.
In a statement on Monday, Tinubu said Adamu’s wisdom “will
be a great asset to the APC in the crucial moments ahead”.
The presidential aspirant also said the new members of the
national working committee (NWC) should work together for the benefit of the
party.
“President Muhammadu Buhari deserves commendation for his
leadership. Deserving citations are members of the Caretaker and Extraordinary
Convention Planning Committee for carrying out the vital assignment of planning
and conducting the March 26 National Convention,” he said.
“We acknowledge the caliber of men and women elected to the
leadership positions of the party as pledged. We encourage them to work in
unity toward our common purpose. In this way, victory for the party and excellent
governance for the Nigerian people shall be assured.
“Congratulations to
the new National Chairman, Alhaji Abdulahi Adamu, who like me is a team builder
and former governor. He also is an experienced administrator and able
statesman.
“I applaud every member of the new leadership and wish them
well in their assignments.
“The new leadership and party members must work together in
common purpose with commitment to ensure another resounding victory at all
levels for the APC in 2023.”
Tinubu also said the progress of the country depends on the
APC.
“The future
stability, progress and prosperity of Nigeria depends substantially on the
democratic commitment and efficacy of the APC,” he added.
“We must all come together to ensure the party keeps faith
with its promise to the Nigeria people by creating a more prosperous, secure
and just society for all.”
