APC Celebrates ‘Skillful Salesman’ Lai Mohammed At 68

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has recognized the role of Lai Mohammed as a pioneer spokesman of the party and described him on his 68th birthday as a “skillful Salesman” who has demonstrated that an opposition party should be a patriotic partner of the ruling party.

This is in a birthday message to Mohammed at 68 issued by the party on Friday.

The statement said Mohammed was pivotal to the rise of the party and the promotion of its progressive idea.

Part of the statement: “The All Progressives Congress (APC) celebrates the Minister of Information and Culture, Alh. Lai Mohammed on the occasion of his 68th birthday.

“The APC joins family, friends, and associates in celebrating an outstanding personality and an astute APC leader.

“We recall the pivotal role of Alh. Lai Mohammed in laying an enduring foundation for our party and especially his exceptional commitment as a skillful salesman towards the promotion of the APC’s progressive ideals.

“As the pioneer National Publicity Secretary of APC, before our election victory in 2015, Alh. Lai Mohammed demonstrated that opposition could conduct its public affairs with patriotic zeal.

“More so, as spokesman for the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government, Alh. Lai Mohammed has brought to bear his vast experience in public relations in the management of government-citizens relations. We particularly laud Alh. Lai Mohammed for the National Re-orientation Campaign “Change Begins With Me” which is instilling new set of acceptable values and attitudes in Nigerians such as discipline, integrity, dignity of labour, social justice, religious tolerance, self-reliance, and patriotism.

“The party prays for good health and long life as the honourable minister continues to contribute to national development.”
