The Peoples Democratic Party Governors’ Forum, PDP-GF, has expressed the firm optimism that all the re-elected and newly elected Governors of the party, who were inaugurated yesterday, will prove their leadership capacities as a result of their vast experiences and earlier career endeavours.
The PDP-GF said this on Monday in a congratulatory message issued by its Director-General, Hon CID Maduabum and sent to the new Governors.
The Forum noted that the gubernatorial office is a call to service unto the people of various states and the nation in general, which comes with pressing demands and responsibilities, requiring focus, loyalty, discipline, professionalism and diligence, the traits they all have in abundance.
The Forum has therefore pledged to support and assist the Governors by providing a conducive environment through peer review activities and other actions geared towards excellence in office to effect strategic socio-economic changes in their respective states in order to reciprocate the trust and mandate given to them by their people, party leaders and stakeholders.
The statement by Maduabum titled, ‘Congratulatory Message to PDP Governors-Elect on Inauguration and Swearing-in to Office’, reads, “The Peoples Democratic Party Governors’ Forum, PDP-GF, on behalf of all the member Governors, congratulates all its re-elected Governors (Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa State, Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State and Seyi Makinde of Oyo State); as well as its Governors-Elect (Pastor Umo Bassey Eno – Akwa Ibom State; Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori – Delta State; Barr. Peter Ndubusi Mbah – Enugu State; Barr. Caleb Mutfwang – Plateau State; Sir Ameopusenibo Siminalayi Fubara – Rivers State; Lt. Col. Agbu Kefas, Rtd. – Taraba State and Dr. Dauda Lawal – Zamfara State), on this memorable day, May 29, 2023, on their inauguration and swearing – in into office.
“The Forum is particularly grateful to God for the election and inauguration of very capable hands to pilot the ship of various PDP States at this time.
“As they assume duties in the exalted office of Governor, it is our prayer that God will give them the wisdom, discernment, ability, and resources – both human and material – to face the challenges of statecraft.
“The Forum notes also that the gubernatorial office is a call to service unto the people of various states and the nation in general, and comes with pressing demands and responsibilities, requiring focus, loyalty, discipline, professionalism and diligence, traits they all have in abundance.
We have high hopes that they will prove their leadership capacities as a result of their vast experiences and earlier career endeavours.
“The Forum pledges to support and assist in providing a conducive environment through peer review activities and other actions geared towards excellence in office to effect strategic socio-economic changes in their respective states in order to reciprocate the trust and mandate given to them by their people, party leaders and stakeholders.
We wish you all God’s guidance, protection, and the best of luck in this onerous task”, the statement concluded.
