The Director-General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council and Plateau State Governor, Simon Bako Lalong, said as leaders of the legislative arms of government in various the Northern APC States, the legislators and all members have a unique position to not only connect with the people at the grassroots but also carry out sensitization, mobilisation and enlightenment regarding the Tinubu and what he stands for.
He said many of them are fully aware of what the Jagaban has achieved as a political colossus in Nigeria over the years and how he has built the economy and human capital of not only Lagos State but the entire country.
Lalong said “Our Presidential Candidate Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and his running mate Senator Kashim Shettima come along with wonderful records of achievement that are a clear signal to the journey towards a greater Nigeria.
“They are focused on building the economy, uniting the nation, tackling insecurity and addressing education and health challenges among others in a way that meets the yearning of Nigerians.
“As we get set to work for the success of our Presidential Candidate Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, I wish to remind you that there is so much that the APC has done both at the Federal, State and Local Government levels that will speak for us.
It is, therefore, our duty to highlight these achievements just to remind Nigerians that our party has done a lot to change Nigeria for good in various ways”.
The deputy campaign director-general of the North and Jigawa State Governor, Abubakar Badaru also praised the speakers for coming together to deploy their grassroots structures toward delivering the Tinubu/Shettima ticket at the elections in 2023.
He advised them to carry along councillor’s of their various constituencies in order to deepen their reach out and consultations across the North.
The Chairman of Northern APC Speakers Forum and Kaduna State speaker, Yusuf Ibrahim Zailani assured Tinubu that they have resolved to deliver the party in the Presidential elections by going to the grassroots where they have direct contact with people.
Vehicles donated for the mobilisation and Campaign by the Northern Speakers Forum were unveiled and distributed to coordinators.
