Why I Drafted Adeleke , Soludo and Wike To APC Presidential Campaign Council– Tinubu

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has given reasons why he drafted Governor Ademola Adeleke, Governor Charles Soludo and Nyesom Wike to 2027 Presidential Campaign Council.

He declared : ” the presence of Governor Ademola Adeleke of the Accord Party (AP), Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and Nyesom Wike, the leader of the PDP, to support the President’s re- election was a testimony to the laudable policies of the All Progressives Congress (APC).”

The APC Chairman urged the Council to communicate President Tinubu’s achievements and policies with precision and to engage Nigerians with confidence, knowing that tremendous progress has been made in the past three years.

He assured the President that the Council will canvass ward to ward, local government to local government, and state to state to ensure voters turn out en masse to re-elect him in 2027.

“We must show Nigerians how this investment and reforms can translate into practical improvement in our daily lives. This is the substance of our campaign.

“A clear record, an honest assessment of the challenges and a credible vision of the future. I understand our members’ expectations as we approach the next general election.

“Our strength depends on the effectiveness of our national leadership, the commitment of the state chapters led by our generals, governors, the organisation of our local government and the dedication at the ward level.

“Let the coming election be a contest of ideas, records, and policies and be conducted peacefully and with respect for the Nigerian people, because we know we’ve done so much for the Nigerian people, and the Nigerian people always respect us”, he said.

Uzodinma, who is also the Secretary of the Council, assured the President that his administration’s laudable policies and programmes would make the PCC’s work easier, noting that the campaign will be issue-based.

He acknowledged the President’s courage in confronting the myriad national challenges previous administrations had shied away from, adding that Nigerians were proud of it.

“The first thing we are proud of is the courage you brought to the problems you inherited when you took office. The country was spending more money on petrol subsidies than on many of its most important public services combined. And a system of multiple exchange rates rewarded a few at everyone else’s expense.

“Every Nigerian leader before you knew that these arrangements could not last. You were the only one who chose to end them. On the first day of your administration and in the full knowledge that it would cost your popularity, you did it,” he said.

Governor Uzodimma also lauded the tax reforms, which, along with other reforms, drove the economy’s growth to 4.43%, up from 4.23% a year earlier.

“Nobody here pretends that these reforms did not bring some hardship or some inconveniences to our people, but the institutions that measure economies of nations are now saying what we have been saying for some time, which is that Nigeria is on the right course.”

In their goodwill messages, Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State, Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Barrister Nyesom Wike, expressed their commitment to ensuring that the President was re-elected in 2027, to continue the good work he has started.

Governor Adeleke electrified the Banquet Hall with his famous dance steps, drawing cheers from the crowded hall.

FCT Minister Nyesom Wike said that, as the leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), he supports President Tinubu because the President has provided bold leadership and direction for the nation.

“Previous administrations identified our problems, but did not tackle them. You have not shied away from tackling such problems. You tackled them from Day One,” the Minister said.

Wike charged the governors to win their states for President Tinubu.
