Hon. Rufus Bature, the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Plateau State has inaugurated heads of 16 Gubernatorial Campaign Directorates of the party with a charge on members to go out and campaign vigorously for the party to win the elections from top to bottom.
Speaking at the inauguration, the Chairman noted that while other parties want to reclaim power, the APC wants to retain power.
He said there is no vacancy at Little Rayfield as the party would use its numerical strength to win the election.
He said though the journey is going to be tough and rugged, the party is going to triumph.
The gubernatorial candidate of the party, Dr. Nentawe Yilwatda Goshwe while speaking at the event congratulated those who made the list which is a product of a very painstaking, diligent and strategic selection.
He expressed optimism that the party is going to win the election given the
efforts that have so far been put in place.
“We are going to leave no stone unturned and with God on our side, we are going to win as we have the people behind us” Dr. Nentawe emphasized.
The gubernatorial candidate pointed out that the party has remained united with 24 out of 36 Governors.
According to him, the main opposition party has different factions and groups while the APC has remained intact and is going into the election as a united front.
Dr. Nentawe was full of appreciation to the APC state Chairman, Hon. Rufus Bature for consolidating the party at the ward, local government, and state levels.
He said the list of campaign Directorates being unveiled was made after a tripartite Committee set up by the governor who is the leader of the party in the state, adding that the Directorates have been carefully formed to accommodate all interests.
He revealed that all his activities have the express approval of the governor and the party.
These include the Thank you visits to all the Local Government Areas and the citizens’ engagement which was multiple spots in the local government.
He said “the engagement which other parties are now copying but who cannot meet our standards was very fruitful as they have put the name of APC on all the streets of Plateau State.”
He said he was through the citizens’ engagement able to talk to the people across the board including traditional rulers, religious leaders, development associations, trade unions, market women, youth and women groups, and civil society organizations.
The gubernatorial candidate was full of appreciation to party leaders for the efforts put in to ensure the success of the outing.
He revealed that the gubernatorial campaign would be flagged off in Wase very soon to be followed by the ones for the Central Senatorial District in Pankshin and Northern Senatorial District in Jos South.
In a vote of thanks, Professor John Wade who is the Director of Policy, Research, and Strategy appreciated the party and candidate for finding them worthy to serve in the different directorates.
He said they would work assiduously to ensure victory for the party at all levels.
He said they would make sure they face their opponents courageously and would embark on issue-based campaigns devoid of sentiments which is the hallmark of the opposition parties.
