2023: S’West APC spokespersons call for issue-based campaigns

The State Publicity Secretaries of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the South-West geopolitical zone have congratulated Ondo State Governor, Rrotimi Akeredolu, over his appointment as the South-West Coordinator for the Tinubu/Shetima Presidential Campaign Council.

The APC spokespersons, in a meeting in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, on Wednesday, announced plans to “explore the advantages inherent in unity and cohesion, to maximise potentials in the interest of the party and it’s candidates.”

The spokesmen, in a statement issued on Thursday by the Secretary of the Conference of APC Publicity Secretaries in South-West, Alex Kalejaye, commended the appointment of Akeredolu, vowing to cooperate with the zonal Director-General and “other stakeholders to ensure overwhelming victory of the party in the South-West in the forthcoming elections.”

“We acknowledge the vocal and consistent push for the party to zone the presidency to the Southern Nigeria by Arakunrin Akeredolu and all other governors and party leaders from the zone. The appointment of Akeredolu, therefore, does not come to us as a surprise. We see it as strikingly appropriateness, and of strategic values,” the statement added.

The spokespersons further called for “issue-based campaigns, devoid of fake news and hate speech, to enhance peace and harmonious relationship among ethnic leaders and stakeholders across board in the overall interest of Nigeria.”

According to the statement, the APC spokespersons also endorsed the spokesman for the party in Ogun State, Tunde Oladunjoye, as the zonal coordinator, while Hon. Alex Kalejaye from Ondo State will serve as the secretary.

“The meeting also acknowledged the parental role of the Conference of APC State Publicity Secretaries (CAPS) and promised to work in one accord with the State Publicity Secretaries of our party in all other zones of the federation,” it added.
