Plateau State Governor Simon Lalong, newly appointed
director general of the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Organisation,
yesterday vowed to do all within his power to ensure the success of the APC in
next year’s presidential election.
The party’s vice-presidential candidate, Senator Kashim
Shettima, separately appealed to youths to unite to vote for the APC flag
bearer, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, promising that youths would play a pivotal role in
government if the party won.
Lalong told party supporters who welcomed him at the Yakubu
Gowon Airport, Jos, on his return from Abuja: “This is another time for us to
work for the victory of APC and also the victory of Tinubu/Shettima
presidential ticket.”
He urged Nigerians to keep religion out of politics.
Lalong stated that his position as the campaign council’s
director general demonstrates that Plateau people are respected in national
politics and that the state will support the APC.
He said: “Campaigning for Tinubu/Shettima Presidential
election will not be a new thing for us in Plateau State; it is not a difficult
task at all. It was the same difficulty we faced in 2015 when some people said
we would not win the election because we were tagged a Muslim party, but we won
that election.
All I want is for us to cement our relationship. Nigeria is
one nation. The challenges that we have are not from the Muslims or the
Christians. We have common challenges and our duty is to unite the people for
development.
“I have capable hands on ground whom we will work together
to deliver APC in the next election,” he affirmed.
