Omo-Agege: Ganduje, Basiru’s emergence key to Tinubu’s agenda

The immediate past Deputy Senate President, Sen. Ovie Omo-Agege, says the newly elected National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, and Senator Ajibola Basiru who also emerged National Secretary are key to the success of the reform agenda of President Bola Tinubu.

Omo-Agege, who is also the governorship candidate of the APC in Delta State, said Ganduje and Basiru have the task of ensuring that federal lawmakers and all party faithful endorse and support Tinubu in his bid to chart a fresh course for the economy.

The former Deputy Senate President said this in a statement issued by his Media Adviser, Sunny Areh, on Friday, August 4, 2023.

He said: “Just as Nigerians rightly put their faith in President Tinubu to right the ship of state, the emergence of Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and Senator Ajibola Basiru as national chairman and secretary respectively of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is the final piece in the jigsaw puzzle on a productive and progressive team Nigeria needs to return to the path of growth.

“Dr. Ganduje’s broad national outlook and dispassionate perception of issues made him have the remarkable record of being the first and only governor to win a second term in Kano State. He is an achiever.

“As for Senator Basiru, I worked closely with him in the 9th session of the National Assembly where he was the Senate spokesman. He is very diligent and straightforward.

“With both of them running the APC, the path to a stable polity is now assured. When the party is in trusted hands and there is a robust and cordial relationship between the legislature and the executive branch, the reform agenda of President Tinubu will be successful.”

Ganduje, a two-term former governor of Kano State, on Thursday, emerged as the national chairman of the APC while Basiru was elected the party’s national secretary.

They were elected to replace the immediate past national chairman of the APC, Abdullahi Adamu, and former national secretary, Iyiola Omisore, at the party’s National Executive Council meeting attended by President Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima, among other party chieftains.
