The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Nasarawa State, Alhaji Aliyu Bello, has been selected to receive the prestigious Political Party Leadership Award by Democracy Newsline Newspaper.
The award is in recognition of Bello’s contributions to party cohesion, grassroots mobilisation and strategic leadership, which the organisers said have strengthened the APC’s political structure across Nasarawa State.
According to the organisers, Bello’s tenure has witnessed improved internal coordination, membership mobilisation and stronger engagement between party structures and government at the state and local government levels.
