Rabiu Omaku

With the permutation and search for the number one seat of the ruling All Progressives Congress intensifies in the country, Nasrawa State Governor,  Engineer Abdullahi Sule, has called on the leadership of the party to consider the state being the only state that won the only seat under the defunct Congress for Progressive Change.

 

The Governor made the call shortly after revalidating his membership card at his Gudi Motor Park II polling unit, in Gudi electoral ward of Akwanga Local Government Area.

 

Abdullahi Sule while recalling the history of the formation of the CPC said Nasarawa State remains the nucleus of the present All Progressives Congress which said is the brain work of the immediate past  Governor, Senator Umaru  Tanko Al-Makura.

 

The Governor pointed out that Nasarawa State should be consider for the exalted seat if Nigeria will be kind to the defunct CPC, as he commended Al–Makura, for bringing the CPC to limelight.

 

He said the contribution of senator Al-Makura with the party having only Nasarawa State as a bargaining chip during the merger that brought about the APC needed to be compensated

 

“Senator Al-makura has made Nasarawa State proud, by being the only one to present a party to be part of that alliance,” he stated.

 

Engineer Sule expressed delight with the unity within the ruling party in the state, he added that the mammoth turnout during the flagging off of the exercise dispelled rumor making round that there is a rift within the party.

 

The Governor warned party caucus not to discriminate during the Revalidation and registration exercise not to cause lapses by blocking party men for everybody to register.

 

Senators Abdullahi Adamu and Umaru Tanko Al-makura also sue for the peace conduct of the exercise as emphasized on the unity existing within the party in the state.

 

Senator Al-Makura in his speech said the tumultuous crowd that turned up to witness the event, was not only indicative of the support the party enjoys but that the people have taken the exercise with all seriousness.

 

“You can see the exercise is very important. We must all go out to ensure the success of the party,” Senator Al-makura said.

 

Senator Adamu commended the Governor for carrying everybody along in his administration and for spreading goodwill across the state.

 

According to Senator Adamu, the turnout at the event was ample evidence that the APC remains the party to beat in the state, if at all there is an opposition.

 

The Caretaker Committee, Chairman Hon. John Mamman, urged officials of the party against circumventing rules and guidelines for carrying out the revalidation and registration exercise.

 

Hon. Mamman called on the officials to see that the party’s register to be produced in the end, is a credible and reliable document that can stand the test of time.

 

He commended Engineer Sule for the support given to the party in general, as well as in conducting the revalidation and registration exercise, assuring him of the party’s support in the implementation of his various peoples oriented programmes.
