APC: Saliu Mustapha Congratulates Newly Inaugurated State Chairmen, Rallies Support For Them

A frontline aspirant for the National Chairmanship of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Mallam Saliu Mustapha has urged the newly inaugurated chairmen of state chapters of the party to be accommodating and magnanimous in victory.

He said this in a statement issued on his behalf by his media aide Dapo Okubanjo in the aftermath of the inauguration of the State Executive Committees (SECs) in Abuja.

“It is a good thing to see that the path to our National Convention on February 26 has been further brightened with the inauguration of new chairmen at the state level by the Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) of our party.

“So while I’m congratulating the new SECs especially the chairmen, I also believe it’s the best time to appeal to all party members to consider the group interest in line with our party’s reconciliation move and rally behind them.

“It would also be good for the new party leaders at the state to extend a hand of fellowship to all aggrieved party members,” the statement added.

Mustapha who is the Turaki of Ilorin also urged the new state exco to brace up for the battle ahead.

He said: “Now that the ceremony in Abuja is over, our state executive members have to now be focused on the big task ahead.

“We have elections coming up in almost exactly 12 months time so it is high time we began to close ranks to confront the Peoples Democratic Party PDP and their antics.

“I’m pledging that If elected as the party’s National Chairman, I will do all that is necessary to make your jobs easier ahead of the 2023 elections.

“You won’t be left to carry the burden alone with me in the saddle and this is a promise that I will keep especially with my experience in party administration.

Mustapha also urged all APC members to cooperate with the new chairmen to enable them to succeed.
