APC Will Take Over Adamawa State In 2023 – Hon Namdas
BY AUSTIN AJAYI, YOLA – Stalwarts of the All Progressive Congress (APC) are not letting off the steam on their much-touted resolve to take over governance in Adamawa state come 2023.
Latest to join in amplifying the party’s assertion is Abdulrazak Namdas, member representing Toungo, Ganye, Jada and Mayo-Belwa Federal constituency in the House of Representatives.
For Namdas, the party’s ongoing registration and revalidation exercise is aimed at taking over power in Adamawa state and also consolidating APC’s foothold at the federal level.
Speaking shortly after revalidating his party membership in his home town of Ganye, the lawmaker praised the APC Caretaker Committee-led by Yobe State Governor, Maimala Buni for ensuring successful conduct of the exercise in the state.
According to him; “The journey of APC to take over the government in Adamawa and also to retain government at the national level has just begun.
“The ongoing registration exercise is meant to prepare our members for the challenges ahead. I want to tell you that the only party alive today in Nigeria is the All Progressives Congress.”
He said the ongoing exercise will help the party know its strength and have a database of members, especially those who joined it newly across the country.
“It is with this membership card that we are going to show our strength as members of APC in this country.
“We will face the opposition and let them know we will remain in power by the special grace of God based on the good works of the present government.
“I can tell you that States, where APC is in the opposition, will take over the government.”
The lawmaker further said stakeholders of the party at all levels have agreed to work together and ensure whoever emerged as the party’s candidate at any level is fully supported.
“I remains optimistic that the ongoing exercise will further strengthen and unite the party as it prepares for the 2023 elections. All of us that are stakeholders in APC, whether as aspirants or not, we will not fight among ourselves.
“We shall work together to ensure that whoever emerges as a candidate in any of the elections, whether as president; governor; senator; House of Reps; or House of Assembly; will be victorious at the polls.”
Namdas, who has already indicated his interest in gunning for the APC gubernatorial ticket come 2023, called on those who are not APC members to register now and support the party going forward.
He however tasked registration officers and their supervisors to ensure fairness to all who want to become party members at all levels, adding; “This exercise is an opportunity for those who are not in our party to take up membership and become full-fledged members.
“We are calling on our members, registration officers, and supervisors not to deny anybody the opportunity to become a member of the party”, he said
The chairman of House of Representatives committee on Army however assured that both old and new members will be given equal opportunity to exercise their franchise in whichever way they so desire.
