The national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, at the weekend congratulated the newly-elected Lagos State executives of the party, urging them to further promote unity and inclusiveness in APC.

He spoke last Saturday when he received the new executives who paid him a courtesy visit at his Ikoyi residence after their victory.

Tinubu charged them to rededicate themselves to the party, and work to take it to the new level, saying winning all political contests became a hallmark of the party in Lagos. 

He thanked the outgoing executives led by Chief Henry Ajomale for their unparalleled stewardship that saw the party grow stronger, broader and more relevant. He commended them for steady way they led the party maintaining party discipline and cohesion through the years.

“The outgoing executives led by Ajomale did a wonderful job. He led the party with a unity of purpose underpinned by the spirit of inclusiveness and purpose. Under them, we never lost any election. We will not lose any election but this depends on how you handle your new responsibilities,” he said.

On the issue of the congress conducted, the APC national leader said it was conducted in line with the guiding laws of the party.

According to him, “The people who own the party have spoken and chosen their leaders. The success of the congress held confirms the tradition of robust democracy and consensus-building that has brought progressive development to our state.”

Tinubu said the new chairman of the party in the state, Alhaji Tunde Balogun, was no stranger to him and no stranger to responsibility, adding that as commissioner in his administration, he performed well.

The APC chieftain expressed confidence in his ability to lead the party and to deliver the good.

Balogun was the state Commissioner for Home Affairs and Culture during Tinubu’s time as governor.

The new chairman thanked the APC national leader and pledged to work hard to take the party to the next level.

He commended Senator Uche Ekwunife who led the state Congress Organising Committee and her team for conducting a free, fair and transparent exercise and for demonstrating commitment to the progress and success of the party.
