ABUJA (Sundiata Post) – With less than 24 hours to the national convention of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State, Dr. Solomon Edebiri, has called for support for the sole national championship candidate, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.
In a statement made available to Sundiata Post on Friday, Edebiri said for the love of APC and Nigeria it was necessary to support the former Governor of Edo State in his quest to become the national chairman of APC.
The full statement reads:
The need to foster a more united Nigeria cannot also be overemphasised at this critical stage of our nation building where there are so many fragmentations across regions, coupled with threats of insurgency masquerading in different identities across the country. As we crave for the much needed economic stabilisation in our nation Nigeria, we cannot overemphasize the fact that a united nation is needed to achieve the required progress. For a democratic nation like ours, the ruling party thus has so much to do in fostering this unity and economic growth. I believe looking at all the variables, there could never have been a better person to fill the position of the National Chairman at this time other than this distinguished Nigerian. The task ahead 2019 should not be left in the hands of neophytes or political upstarts, we must put a capable hand in the driver’s seat of the APC to silence every opposition in order not take Nigeria back many years. With Adams Oshiomhole’s doggedness, experience in leadership as well as good and sound knowledge of the Nigerian project coupled with President Buhari’s anti corruption stance, I can boldly say we are battle ready for 2019 and nothing but victory can be expected. A lot of persons in APC and thousands of even non partisan Nigerians see Comrade Adams Oshiomhole’s coming as the APC National Chairman as a good omen for the party and Nigeria as a nation hence his candidacy has attracted so much support and endorsement across the nation.
I thus urge all delegates at the convention come 23rd June, 2018 that for the good of our party and Nigeria our dear country, they should vote massively for Comrade Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole as the APC National Chairman. He will change the face of the party and lead it to victory come 2019 and even beyond.
