The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Bola Tinubu, yesterday met with governorship and National Assembly candidates of the party ahead of the forthcoming general election.

The meeting had in attendance the party’s National Chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, Senate President Ahmed Lawan, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, governors of the party, as well as members of the National Working Committee (NWC) and Presidential Campaign Council (PCC).

 

Tinubu said he had been eager to meet with the party’s candidates and urged them to ensure they do not disappoint members of the party who elected them to fly the party’s tickets at the polls.The APC presidential candidate challenged the party’s candidates to go to the polls starting from the presidential and National Assembly elections on February 25 to the governorship and state assembly elections on March 11 with a united front.

The former Governor of Lagos State said APC was formed not just to be another political party, but as a champion of the people to rescue democracy from the ravages of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) which boasted of ruling the nation for 60 years.

 

He stated: “I am pleased to meet with you today because in you I see our party’s hope and path to success. In you I see the hope of historic national progress as well.

“As so often in life, victory is not a cause for rest or celebration. It is a call to a greater challenge and harder toil. Thus, you all have won the primaries but now must climb the higher mountain called the general elections,” he said.

“We formed this party to rescue the people and their collective prosperity from the avarice and greed of an elite that will devour the nation’s God-given endowment if we allow such people back into power. As those flying our party’s flag, we carry a heavy burden on our shoulders.”

 

Tinubu noted that they have the mandate to deliver the party to victory so that they can protect Nigeria from those who would devour all of its fruits. According to him, the party has placed its trust in us. Democratic victory in the coming elections is a task we must accomplish. Every one must collectively work for the party’s victory in all elections to ensure that the party’s project of growth and development for the nation is assured.

The presidential candidate promised to continue to work for every one of them even as he also desires to become Nigeria’s president.

He added: “We have to act like the broom, the symbol of our party. A stick cannot clean any dirt but coming together under the band as one, we can sweep aside all the bad and wrong things that impede our nation’s growth and development.
