Nigeria’s Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, has expressed
confidence that the All Progressives Congress will win the 2023 presidential
election with its standard bearer and his running mate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and
Kashim Shettima respectively.
Lawan made the boast in his goodwill message at a special
dinner organised for patrons and advisors of the APC at the Campaign
Headquarters in Abuja.
The Campaign Patrons and Advisers are made up of former
governors, National Assembly members, ministers, accomplished politicians, and
former senior appointees of the Federal Government.
In his address, the Senate President attributed his
confidence in Tinubu and Shettima to their achievements in their various
political journeys.
He said, “The APC is on its way to winning the elections
with Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Kashim Shettima who are great Nigerians that
have achieved a lot in their various political journeys.”
Addressing the participants, Tinubu described the campaign
patrons as politicians of repute who have worked hard for the party and
sacrificed so much for the growth of democracy in Nigeria.
This was disclosed in a statement issued by Dr. Makut
Macham, Director of Press and Public Affairs to the Director General of APC
Presidential Campaign Council, Gov Simon Lalong.
Tinubu expressed delight that they are fully behind him and
his vision to give Nigeria a ‘Renewed Hope’ to make it better.
The former governor reassured them that when elected, he
will do his best to tap the experience, knowledge and skills of technocrats
from various parts of the country to address the challenges of the nation.
Shettima also applauded the audience, saying the wide
acceptance of his joint ticket with the APC national leader demonstrates that
Nigeria’s are moving beyond the politics of ethnicity and religious sentiments
to considering capacity and excellence.
Governor of Plateau State, Simon Lalong, who obviously
seemed impressed with the dinner reception, appreciated the campaign patrons
and advisers over their conviction to support the Tinubu-Shettima ticket.
“While promising to do his best to carry all Nigerians
along, the campaign DG said the PCC members have vast experience, connections
and followership to ensure the campaign does not derail.
“The DG said he was looking forward to having them in Jos
for the flag-off of the campaigns which will herald the nationwide movement to
engage the people,” the statement said.
