Adedayo Akinwale in Abuja
The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, has reassured Nigerians that President Bola Tinubu, had the capacity to reform the country’s system of governance and the economy that would take Nigeria to the next level.
Ganduje stated this yesterday, when South West Agenda for Asiwaju (SWAGA) led by Senator Dayo Adeyeye paid him a courtesy visit at the national secretariat of the party in Abuja.
He commended SWAGA for the role it played in ensuring that the Tinubu presidency became a reality.
“If you want to start a journey, you must start with preparedness, and I think you started this journey with preparedness because you were committed; you have common ideas leading to a kind of philosophy or a kind of ideology to achieve an objective.
“I think that is a very good starting point, because once you start something, you must have an objective, you must have a target, a timeframe and how to do it, and must know you are committed, you must do it.
“When you said you formed this association — this group — not to your knowledge, some of us started it in the heart even before explaining it to others to know, because when you like something; when you love something, it starts from the heart.
“Sometimes you even suffer because people don’t understand you. But we believe our principal is the right principal, he is the man that we have been yearning to mount the leadership of this country and we have succeeded in doing that.
“You have to assess people for where they come from, you have to assess people from their disposition, to assess people from their curricula vitae not some people from the blues. Nigeria is bigger than that.
“So, we believe Asiwaju is a man of institutions, he believes in developing institutions and by developing institutions, that is why you have sustainability,”Ganduje said.
He noted that Lagos State has a high degree of sustainability, and that the high degree of sustainability was not because Tinubu has been the governor for over 20 years, but rather, he developed institutions, and laid the foundation for sustainability for Lagos.
Earlier, Adeyeye congratulated Ganduje and the National Secretary of the party, Senator Ajibola Bashir, for their emergence and pledged their support to the new leaders.
