The Minister of State for the Federal Capital Territory ( FCT), Dr. Ramatu Aliyu has appealed to residents of Abuja to give the ruling All Progressives Congress ( APC) a second chance at the forthcoming 2023 polls.
This appeal may not be unconnected with the general perceptions that the party has not satisfied the expectations of Nigerian electorates in the almost 8 years of its administration.
Aliyu, who made the appeal over the weekend during the Party’s Abuja Mega Campaign Rally at the popular Eagle Square, in the nation’s capital city, noted that she is quite convinced that APC deserves a second chance.
Aliyu stated that the party’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu has proven to be a man with the capacity, and has demonstrated that by the number of people he has reproduced through Systematic mentorship.
According to her, FCT residents should give him and other candidates of the party the chance to make the country, and FCT in particular better than what it had been.
She said, “ APC deserves another chance. We stand on continuity. I am standing before you to say that if APC is voted in , Nigeria will be greater, because we are building upon that which is better than what we met.
“We stand on what Buhari said that the unity of this country is not negotiable. APC as a party stands on that . So many projects have been completed, so many will be completed before the end of this administration and many others will be initiated.
“ Tinubu has mentored many leaders. I have identified that one of the problem of leadership is mentorship, we want leaders who will like you to be like him”.
On his part, the National Secretary of APC’s Presidential Campaign Council, Hon. James Faleke, noted that he represented the Presidential Candidate because he was involved in other engagements.
Faleke also called on Abuja residents to stand with the party during 2023 polls, urging them also to ensure that their PVCs were collected and kept intact.
The Abuja Mega Rally which kicked off from the unity fountain through Kubwa, Zuba Giri, Airport road to Area 1, and terminated at Eagles Square, in the Federal Secretariat area of the city.
