President Muhammadu Buhari has
called on members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign
council to work hard as he is sure of victory in the February poll.
He made this call on Thursday at
the inaugural meeting of the campaign council in Abuja.
Buhari, who gave an opening
remark before the meeting went behind closed doors, charged members of the
council to ensure victory for the party.
“I would like to appeal to you to
dedicate and commit yourself once again to the task at hand. There is no doubt
that victory is with us: it is ours, but that shouldn’t mean we should rest
even for a moment,” he said.
“Even though we are confident of
winning, I urge you to work as hard as you can so that we can maximize the
scale and extent of our victory.
“I urge you to rise to the
challenge of the great expectations this party and Nigerians have for you – and
the confidence that I personally have in the ability of all of you to deliver.
“Needless to add, your selection
was not easy, because in forming this council, the party settled only for the
best. You are the cream of the party and I assure you that with the unity of
purpose and effective harmony and communication, there is no political opponent
you cannot overcome.”
Adams Oshiomhole, chairman of the
party, said the APC governors who did not make the programme were busy
campaigning in their various states.
“Because they are governors, they
are governing their states. Don’t forget that elections are not defined in
Abuja, it will take place in the 36 states and I’m sure there are APC members
who are campaigning for the House of Assembly, various federal house and senate
constituencies, governorship constituencies,” he said.
“So it will not be helpful to
bring them to Abuja. Here it is about policies, it will consummated and
translated to practice across the 36 states, 774 local governments and ward.”
He added that the key issue was
to go through the programme of
activities, calendar of campaigns, various interests group within the country,
the business community, the youths, women, people with disabilities and various
special interests groups.
He also said things have changed
in the past three and half years as compared to the 16 year rule of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), and the president will have to visit each of the 36
states with this message.
