APC National Convention: Fayemi Endorses Sen Sani Musa


-Says He Has Ability To Take Party To the Next Level

Chairman of the Governor’s Forum of Nigeria and Governor of Ekiti State Dr. Kayode Fayemi has thrown his weight behind the bid by a leading aspirant for the position of national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, (APC), Senator Mohammed Sani Musa saying the aspirant has what it takes to take APC to the next level.

This is as Senator Musa restated his commitment to sustain the legacies of President Muhammad Bihari in making the APC a more vibrant and democratic institution that grooms leaders, formulates policies and ultimately, win elections.

Senator Musa was in Ado-Ekiti Monday to meet with Governors Fayemi in furtherance of his consultations with party leaders and stakeholders on his political aspiration.

Governor Fayemi disclosed that prior the visit he had been inundated with calls and accused alongside another governor of being the brains behind Sani Musa’s candidacy.

He, however, stated that he wouldn’t allow such snide remarks blackmail him to the point of disassociating himself from Musa whom he described as “one of our best candidates”.

Senator Musa used the opportunity of the meeting to unveil his mission and blueprint for the Party as a necessary step in sustaining President Muhammadu Buhari’s legacy and ideology for the APC.

He disclosed further that President Muhammadu Buhari has committed so much efforts in making the APC a national party for all and a force to reckon with.

The federal lawmaker also harped on the importance of making the APC a vibrant democratic institution that grooms leaders, formulate policy and ultimately, win elections.

Noted Musa; “It is my view that when those elected in government are doing their job, political parties should be busy working — organizing retreats, exchange programmes, party conferences and peer reviews which in my candid opinion is more important than only waiting for elections or congresses.”

“In addition to this, one of the cardinal focal points that is dear to me personally, is to strive to adapt to this affiliative and participatory system where everyone will have a sense of belonging in the party,” stressed the aspirant.

Responding, an elated Governor Fayemi Sani Musa’s pedigree and antecedents which he personally dug up on his own, he was more convinced that Sani Musa is a man that is armed with the requisite leadership qualities to lead the APC and sustain its electoral fortunes.

He promised to give his full support to Sani Musa’s ambition.

“I appreciate you for coming down to Ado-Ekiti to visit me. While I can assure you of my support on your ambition to lead our great party, I need to also emphasize that we have a leader in President Muhammadu Buhari and whatever Mr. President decides at the end of the day, is what we will all abide by including you and I.” Fayemi stated.

Governor Fayemi and his guest also discussed topical issues of national importance bothering on the upcoming National Convention and post President Muhammadu Buhari era and what it portrayed for the APC during the next election – especially the President’s 12 million votes and how key party leaders can play their part by scaling up their support base that will translate into meaningful votes for the APC.
