By Sadiq Abubakar, Abuja.
The Gwagwalada Area council of the All Progressive Congress (APC) stakeholders and party Stalwarts held a reconciliation meeting and resolved to come together inorder to deliver the party’s chairmanship candidate, Hon Abubakar Jibrin Giri, and the ten wards councillors in the February 12, 2022 Council election in the area.
Speaking at the meeting, state chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC), in the FCT, Alhaji Abdulmalik Usman, said the stakeholders meeting became necessary aimed to address any challenges facing the party, especially meeting with some of the aggrieved members to see how they will unite together and move forward.
He said the coming together of all the APC stakeholders was the only best way, which he said was also an avenue for any aggrieved member and stakeholders of the party to forgive each other and unite in order for the party to win the forthcoming council election.
According to him, the coming together of the APC stakeholders in the area to hold peaceful meeting was an avenue on how to deliver APC from local, State and National level in 2022 and 2023 elections.
He, however, said that he was encouraged by the determination and yearning of the people of Gwagwalada, for good governance.
Also speaking, the Gwagwalada Area council chairmanship candidate of the party, Hon Abubakar Jibrin Giri, commended all the aspirants for their courage for coming together and unite in order for the party to emerge victorious during the forthcoming council election in the area.
He also commended them for their efforts and sportsmanship in accepting defeat during the primaries, saying he was overwhelmed with their resolution to work for the victory of the party at the polls.
“May the exemplary ideals keep giving us strength and inspiration to build Gwagwalada Area council we all dream of its service, commitment and devotion to the council, which will always be memorable,” he said.
On his part, a former house of representatives member for Abuja South federal constituency, Hon. Zakari Angulu Dobi, also appreciated the aspirants for accepting defeat and resolved to work for the party during the forthcoming council election and in 2023 general election.
He stressed for the need for both stakeholders and members of the party to forgive each other in the interest of peace and unity of the party, even as he also sought for forgiveness from any party member he has offended directly or indirectly.
He, however, stated that Gwagwalada must strive towards ensuring that the political parties are in every sense of the word, political parties by their supremacy over Members both in and outside, saying APC remained the supreme party in the council.
Hon Dobi, said though, the party’s discipline should only be attainable where the political party plays it’s proper role of political education, community development, Interest articulation and aggregation apart from serving as the vehicle on which platform and power is sought.
“And APC has came and Hon Abubakar Jibrin Giri has came to stay, staying together is the pillar of our victory in the forthcoming council election and 2023 general election,” he said.
