He cited maturity, cooperation, unity, love, and patriotism witnessed among members of the party a the trace for the emergency of the victory on Saturday.
“The success of our convention last Saturday gladdens my heart; and I wish to congratulate all our party men and women, for this feat. I also commend the leaders of our Party, particularly the Governors, for the show of maturity, cooperation, unity, love, and patriotism witnessed among them, in the handling of all the processes leading to the convention, which led to the emergence of the officers through a consensus arrangement.
“The outstanding fatherly role of Mr. President, Muhammadu Buhari, was quite commendable. This has proven that the APC as a ruling party in Nigeria is very focused on achieving a better Nigeria. Our party has also proven the doomsayers wrong on their evil predictions about the just concluded convention,” he said.
The governorship hopeful, who lauded the emergence of Senator Abdullahi Adamu as the new APC national chairman, described him as a true party man, an upright and patriotic Nigerian with the requisite experience and capacity to further unite and lead the party to victories in future elections.
I wish to particularly congratulate my dear brothers, Chief Uguru Mathew Ofoke, the new National Treasurer; Chief Azobu Innocent Itapa, the new Zonal Secretary (South-East); and Barr Mayor Ogbona Earnest (South-East), the new Zonal Legal Adviser, on their well-deserved election into exalted offices in the party. I have no doubt that you will make Ebonyi people proud in the discharge of your duties in your respective offices,” he added.
The Governorship hopeful, also commended Governor David Umahi and the leadership of the APC in Ebonyi State led by Chief Stanley Okoro-emegha as well as the entire Ebonyi contingent for making the State proud at the just concluded convention.
He further called on Ebonyi people to redouble their support for Governor Umahi and the APC, saying, “the success of the last Saturday APC convention has signaled a new dawn, particularly in Ebonyi State, and I urge Ebonyi people to keep faith with the APC, for better things to come.”
