The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Nasarawa State has again reaffirmed its confidence on the state Governor, Abdullahi Sule, following the laudable achievements recorded under his administration.

This is even as the party SEC has also expressed its satisfaction with the administration of the party Chairman, Aliyu Bello which forms part of the resolutions adopted during the State Executive Committee meeting of the party in Lafia Tuesday.

The party in a resolution read by the State Secretary of the party, Hon. Yarus G. Daguza,
said the confidence passed on Governor Sule was as a result of his effective and efficient piloting of the affairs of the state since assumption of the mantle of leadership in the state.

“As evident in the execution of transformative projects across all sectors of the state’s economy, SEC especially commended the Governor for the efficient way and manner he led in the organisation and conduct of the recent one-day official working visit to the state by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu”.

“We acknowledge that the Presidential visit was successful mainly because of the Governor’s exemplary leadership, a quality which the President specifically applauded,” the party stated.

The state executive council also aligned itself with all the submissions made by Governor Sule at a recent meeting of the party’s stakeholders in Keffi, with the SEC noting with delight the Governor’s emphasis on strengthening internal party democracy, in the conduct of free, fair and transparent primaries.

“Just as we equally align our views on Governorship Aspirants of the Party not to overheat the polity, but rather conduct themselves with decorum and maturity, awaiting release of the Party guidelines and timetable for conduct of primaries,” the SEC added.

This is just as the state executive committee of the APC passed another vote of confidence on the state APC Chairman, Dr. Aliyu Bello, for his commitment to the development of the party, particularly in the face of the many interests and tendencies that exist in large political parties like the APC.

Reviewing recent events within the party, the SEC condemned in strong terms what it described as the inordinate effort of some exco members in Gayam Ward of Lafia Local Government Area, to bring confusion and division in the party, thereby embarrassing the leadership of the party in the state.

The SEC resolved and call for a proper investigation to be conducted with a view to identifying the culprits and their sponsors for an appropriate disciplinary measures to be taken against any of the party official found to be involved in the unconstitutional act in order to bring Sanity to the party and to forestall future occurrence.

The SEC members noted with concern various unfortunate incidents of flood and violence that occurred recently in states of Benue, Plateau, and Niger.

“The APC and its teeming members in Nasarawa State join His Excellency, Engr. Abdullahi A. Sule, to commiserate with these three neighbouring states, as we pray for the repose of the souls of those who lost their lives. We equally praying that God will replace in multiples the assets and wealth of all those who incurred material losses,” part of the resolutions read.
