Engineer Sule said the meeting was an opportunity for stakeholders of the party from Nasarawa West to take stock of events, especially in the wake of the presidential and national assembly election, with a view to forging a common front ahead of the coming governorship/state assembly election.
“The quality of leadership, the patience that he has demonstrated as a person and as the National Chairman of our party, are unrivaled. I am amazed at his amount of patience that he has demonstrated, the quality of leadership that he has provided to put this kind of meeting together because I least expected it.
“We have gone through an election, everyone can give that election a meaning they want but in reality, it’s an election that for the first time we are using technology and came with lots of expectations,” he stated.
He pointed out, not minding the fallout of the last election, where the APC suffered setbacks across many states, the party is fully ready to assert itself in the coming election.
