The All Progressives Congress
(APC) has inaugurated its national
campaign council to complement the efforts of committees set up for the
November 16 governorship elections in Kogi
and Bayelsa.
Adams Oshiomhole, national
chairman of APC, who inaugurated the
council in Abuja on Friday, said Abubakar Badaru, governor of Jigawa, would
chair a 56-council member for Bayelsa, while Nasir el-Rufai, governor of Kaduna,
would lead 56 members for Kogi.
Oshiomhole, who said all APC
governors would participate in the campaign, added that the party would also
deploy its “human resources” to Kogi and Bayelsa to deliver the states for the
party.
“This inauguration demonstrates
the party’s readiness to campaign and contest the election,” he said.
Speaking on behalf of the
council, el-Rufai thanked the party’s national working committee for appointing
him to lead the campaign council for Kogi election.
He pledged his team’s commitment
to deliver the state to the party.
The governor, who said that
re-election of a governor was always tougher than fresh election, promised that
his campaign council would ensure re-election of Yahaya Bello.
Badaru, who was represented by
Abdullahi Ganduje, his Kano counteroart, expressed the council’s readiness to
complement the efforts of Bayelsa campaign organisation to ensure victory for
the party.
The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) is the major opponent of the APC in both states.
While the PDP is in charge of
Bayelsa, the APC is fighting to retain Kogi.
