A frontline support group of the governing All Progressives Congress (APC) under the auspices of APC Progressives Youth Movement, has appealed to the President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to consider the former Secretary of the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) Hon. James Faleke as his Chief of Staff.
The APC group the request is hinged by his commitment to the Tinubu/ Shettima Campaign where he played the pivotal role of coordinating various Support Groups which came together to form the Tinubu Support Group.
A statement released Monday in Abuja, signed by the group’s spokesperson, Comrade Abdullahi Dauda Little, National Secretary, Hon Adamu Garbajo Yola and the National women Coordinator, Hajiya bahijja mahmood Bauchi, reminded the President-elect of his succeess as recorded in the past was largely due to his knack for head hunting competent, loyal and capable citizens who share his vision to enthrust them with positions of responsibility with little supervision to deliver.
The statement said: “Having worked with many of his appointees especially in the lead up to the 2023 general elections, we have come to the inevitable conclusion that Hon. Faleke stands heads and shoulders above others for the position of Chief of Staff.
“After ensuring that the Tinubu brand emerged victorious during the APC Presidential Primaries, the TSG under his leadership took its assignment to the next level by campaigning vigorously for the Tinubu/Shettima Campaign which by God’s grance lead to the victory we are all celebrating today.
“We are not asking for the office for Falake only as compensation for his hard work which is obvious but because of his consistency, loyalty and above all competence. He has been a member of the House of Representatives and a committed party member and has remained a student of the Asiwaju Tinubu school of politics from the very beginning.
“We want our President to succeed to put enemies of Nigeria to shame and to do this, our President in waiting will need strong hands who share his vision and commitment to the Nigeria project. One of such men is Hon. James Faleke.
“With Faleke, our President can rest assured that the engine room of his administration in terms of staff is in safe hands. The candidate knows every nook and cranny, he knows those who worked hard and contributed to our President’s victory from all across Nigeria and can under the guidance of Mr. President-Elect ensure that hard work is not only rewarded but that Nigeria altinatley benefits.”
