…Adamu is the best, has capacity to pilot the affairs of APC as national chairman – Onuchukwu
Ahead of the National Convention of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), the leading aspirant and National Chairman hopeful, Distinguished Sen Dr Abdullahi Adamu on Wednesday picked his nomination and intent form at the APC National Secretariat in Abuja.
The forms was picked on behalf of Sen Adamu by the Director General of Sen Dr Abdullahi Adamu Campaign Organisation (SAACO), Hon Lawrence Onuchukwu, who led other national, state and zonal officers and teeming supporters as well as support groups to the party secretariat.
The team, which arrived the party’s national secretariat at about 1.15 pm proceeded to the Finance department to confirm receipt of payment before proceeding to the office of the director of organisation, where they were formally presented with the forms and signed to document the collection of the forms.
Addressing journalists at the APC national Secretariat, the DG congratulated the Gov Mai Mala Buni-led Caretaker Extraordinary Convention of Planning Committee (CECPC) for their laudable efforts in keeping the party together ahead of the national convention.
He also lauded President Muhammadu Buhari for endorsing the aspiration of Sen Abdullahi Adamu assuring that his emergence of as National Chairman will strengthen the party and sustain the legacies of the President.
The DG stated that Sen Abdullahi Adamu has the pedigree as an experienced administrator, politician and the man with the proven capacity and the best candidate to reposition the APC and take it to greater heights.
He further stated that the APC does not have any crisis and that whatever defeat the party suffered in recent elections are due to what he described as internal party crisis (IPC), noting the Sen Abdullahi Adamu’s emergence will unify the party and prepare it for victory in the coming 2023 general elections.
He stressed that Sen Adamu has the capacity and the capability to pilot the affairs of the APC.
He said, “If you have been following the antecedents of Abdullahi Adamu, you will know and agree with me that he is the man who has the capacity and the capability to pilot the affairs of this great party.
”You will also agree with me if you are a member of this party that he was the chairman of Nine man Committee who went round the country to reconcile the party members that makes us see some of the governors who joined us today.
“That alone for me and for us is a wonderful reason for us to say he should come and pilot the affairs of this great party as the chairman of this great party.
Unuchukwu while answering questions on the rumours of Adamu being the anointed candidate of president Muhammadu Buhari said; “if that rumour is something to go by for me is a boast to us, that is to show you Mr president is a man of integrity, I’m sure he will not want to associate himself with somebody who does not have capacity to pilot the affairs of this party.”
“You are also aware that this party whether we like it or not we must not pretend of some challenges and we need a man, we need an administrator, we need a politician, we need a man who has the capacity to take us to the next level of this party.
”We as the campaign team, Senator Abdullahi Adamu is most qualified to take this party to the next level. Every body has done his best especially the governor of Yobe state, because he has put his best through him; we have seen so many governors decamping to our great party which shows that he is a good man. so we wish him well but in life you will start from somewhere and end somewhere for another person to start from there.
“I can assure you with Abdullahi Adamu who has seen it all as a former minister, as a party man, as a two term governor and a three term governor. What else do you need from this man than to come and give service to this great party so that we would take this party to the next level, “he said.
In company of the DG are, Secretary of the campaign organization, Hon Mrs Rahmat Abisola Abdullahi, Director of Organization and Mobilisation Hon Gabriel Bravo Oluohu and other notable leaders and supporters.
Sen Abdullahi Adamu … everyone matters!
