2023: Bago inaugurates APC PCC Special Duties III, hopeful of party’s victory

The Niger All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Umaru Bago, on Wednesday in Abuja inaugurated the party’s Presidential Campaign Council, Special Duties III.

Bago, while inaugurating the council, urged it to work assiduously towards ensuring victory for the Sen. Ahmed Tinubu and Kashim Shettima ticket and all APC candidates across the nooks and crannies of the country.

The three-term member of the House of Representatives, who underscored the need for continuity of APC led government in the country, said the APC manifesto would satisfy the yearnings and aspirations of Nigerians.

He expressed confidence on the capacity of members of the council, saying, ” you have been proven, tested and you have the capacity to make us proud.”

"All hands must be on deck and with the capacity of people in this committee, I am very sure APC will retain power in 2023.

"And I want to tell members of this committee that 99.9 per cent of Niger is APC, so there is no cause for alarm. We are all APC, we support APC, we built APC and we are in APC,” he said.

Earlier, the Director of APC PCC Special Duties III, Sen. Anthony Manzo, said the APC presidential candidate and his running mate were good and salable products that have the capacity to put the country on the path of progress and development.

He pledged readiness of the council to embark on aggressive sensitisation campaign to educate Nigerians on the values that Tinubu and Shettima stood for and what the ordinary Nigerians stand to gain if they vote them into power.

Manzo said the President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC government had recorded tremendous achievements in areas of infrastructure, health, education, security, youth empowerment and social development.

The lawmaker commended Buhari for the ongoing oil exploration in the North East, saying,” the president promises and delivered.

Also, the former Deputy Governor of Borno, Alhaji Adamu Dibal, said Tinubu and Shettima ticket was very palatable and it would ensure landslide victory for APC.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports the highpoint of the event was the inauguration of the council which has eight members.

Other members of the special duties III are; Dr Abiso Kabir, Deputy Director, Mr Mubarak Gambo, Secretary, Ms Furera Galadima, member, Umar Mijinyawa, member and Abubakar Waziri, member.
