As preparations for the November 16, 2024 gubernatorial election in Ondo State gather momentum, Lagos State Governor Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Ol, has said the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the South West Zone will continue to work with stakeholders to ensure it remains the party of choice.
Governor Sanwo-Olu, who is the APC zonal coordinator for South West, said members of the National Working Committee (NWC)and Zonal Working Committee (ZWC) had resolved to intervene on issues and engage with critical stakeholders to ensure they were not only taken care of but also enjoyed the dividends of democracy.
APC national chairman, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, inaugurated and presented letters to six governors at the party headquarters in Abuja on Wednesday, March 26,2024, to coordinate party activities and reconcile aggrieved members of the party in each of the six geo-political zones.
The zonal coordinators are Governors Babajide Sanwo-Olu (South West), Hope Uzodinma of Imo (South-East), Bassey Otu of Cross River (South-South), AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara (North-Central), Mai Mala Buni of Yobe (North-East), and Uba Sani of Kaduna (North-West).
Speaking to journalists after a meeting with the APC national and zonal executive members from the
South West at Lagos House, Marina yesterday, Governor Sanwo-Olu pledged to live up to the responsibility by working with the entire team to reposition and strengthen the party in the South West.
Sanwo-Olu, who was handed a congratulatory letter on his appointment as the zonal coordinator for APC South West by the officials, said the inaugural meeting with the party’s national and zonal executives was to come up with far-reaching decisions to put the party on its feet and the right pedestal.
He said, “We are engaging in all the issues that we have in all our states and trying to bring all of us together. We are beginning to look at areas where we can indeed intervene as a zone, especially with critical stakeholders. We have identified students, youths, and people living with disabilities. We all have things we can do differently.
“We all have things from the South-West that we can continue to push into our national conversation to ensure that the stakeholders in the region are very focused and ensure that people feel the real dividends of democracy. And to generally put APC as the biggest party in Africa, the biggest party in the country, and to continue to remain the biggest party in the South-West.’’
