Wife of a former Governor of Oyo State, late Senator Abiola Ajimobi, Mrs Florence Ajimobi yesterday, said the emergence of Alhaji Abdullahi Ganduje as Chairman and Senator Bashiru Ajibola as Secretary signifies a new chapter in the history of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Mrs Ajimobi in a statement in Ibadan, declared that with the emergence of Alhaji Ganduje and Senator Ajibola, ” APC is in capable hands as the duo being party men, would always do the right thing.
“The choice of the duo by the party leadership is the right decision that is capable of taking APC to the next level. They will both complement the leader of the party and President and Commander -in- Chief, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in our desire to have a nation of our dreams”, she said.
Mrs Ajimobi added, ” Alhaji Ganduje’s political trajectory has shown him to be a leader with the zeal to develop people and transform lives as evidenced in his stewardship as Kano State governor.
” Also as a detribalised Nigerian, without doubt, he will be fair to all. The party is thus safe in his capable and trustworthy hands”
Also, a group, the Ajimobi Legacy Forum (ALF) in a statement by former Special Adviser, Communication and Strategy to late Governor Abiola Ajimobi, Mr Bolaji Tunji, described the emergence of Ganduje and Bashir as a fitting tribute to party loyalty.
ALF in the statement on behalf of the group’s Chairman, Chief Kunle Sanda and Secretary, Olayemi Olugbenga, said the National Executive Council (NEC) of the APC made the right choice as Ganduje and Bashir have what it takes to take the party to the next level.
“They are both committed party men and have what it takes to unite all the tendencies in the party for the continued success of APC. With the seamless emergence of the Chairman and Secretary, the renewed hope agenda of the president would be given an added fillip”, it said.
It added, “The new chairman will surely bring his vast experience in public service to bear in running the affairs of the party and the country and the party would be better for it”.
