Osun Polls: APC Constitutes 63-man Campaign Council

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, on Wednesday constituted the party’s sixty-three member high-powered national campaign council for the September 22,

The campaign council is chaired by Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano state.

Oshiomhole said: “We are very grateful to Governor Ganduje for graciously accepting to provide leadership and chair this very important committee. Your Excellencies, many of you present here have been very much involved in helping to provide leadership in most of the campaigns that we have had in recent times after the last general elections

“So, we have a body of experience to go about and the whole idea is to sustain the values and the ideals of our Party, which is based on transparent elections on the basis of one man, one vote and joining forces with the party leadership in the state, to work hard, to mobilise people of Osun State to vote wisely for the APC candidate in the next governorship election that is scheduled to take place on 22nd September 2018.

“As a governing party, Nigerians resolved in our favour that the APC should not only preside at the centre. They have expressed so much trust and confidence in our party, that on our Party’s platform, 24 governors were elected.

“The importance of Osun is readily appreciated by all of us. First, it is a state we had taken over from the PDP, we defeated the sitting governor at that time.”

Ganduje while responding thanked the national chairman for the assignment and promised that they will work hard to ensure the APC retains the state.

“There is no doubt that winning Osun Sate is very vital to the party. It has been our state in APC for the last 8 years and by the will of God we will maintain this state in order to have 100 per cent states of the South Western part of this country in our great party. As Progressives, we assure you we will ensure clean, free and fair election because that is the motive of the APC.”
