A chieftain of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Nasarawa state, Barr. Labaran Magaji said he is confident that president Bola Tinubu‘s blue print ‘Renewed Hope’ has the ingredients to salvage the current situation in the country
He further stated that motivated him to donate all his campaign structures including large followers campaign offices and other materials to the presidential campaign even after loosing the party’s 2022 senatorial primary election
Magaji equally said that he did same for governor Abdulahi Sule because of what he has been able to do in Nasarawa state in just four years.
Magaji disclosed this in an interview with Journalists on Wednesday.
Magaji Who is from Total local government area of Nasarawa state, aspired to fly the senatorial flag of Nasarawa west senatorial district comprising, Keffi, Kokona, Nasarawa, Toto and Karu local governments under the platform of APC, but lost out to his opponent.
He pointed out that apart from president Tinubu been very supportive to successive governments in the country, both his antecedents and policy documents shows that he has the capacity to deliver.
“My team and I studied the manifestos, the ‘Renewed’ hope agenda of President Tinubu and indeed the policy trust of our governor Engr. Abdulahi A. Sule. It convinced us that they will both deliver.
“It is on the basis of that, that even after loosing the primaries, we donated all our campaign materials and we also mobilize all our supporters to key into the progress of Bola Ahmed Tinubu and His excellency Engr. Abdullahi A. Sule and at the end of the day we recorded a remarkable success in all that we were doing.
“I contested the senatorial primary election, everybody supported including the high and the mighty but unfortunately Allah in his infinite mercy said look my son this is not the time to give you what you are looking for. But like we have always believe, once you are patient God will substitute what you’re looking for with something that is different under the circumstance.
“We are never angry, we are never annoyed and we never attributed our inability to secure the seat to any individual”; Magaji pointed out.
He explained that even though there was a little distraction in the presidential election ranging from religious politics among others God gave APC victory at the end.
“Notwithstanding the little distraction arising from the introduction of religious politics that came in and other sentiments gave our victory a little setback in the presidential election, but ultimately, in our respective local governments; wards and polling units we did remarkably well to deliver Mr. President and gov. Abdullahi Sule both of whom are from APC extraction”.
While appreciating the president for appointing senator George Akume as the Secretary to the Government of the Federation SGF, he advised him to also appoint young individuals with high intellectualism to help drive the wonderful agenda of his government.
The former Nasarawa west senatorial aspirant in the 2022 APC primaries election said his team is ready to assist in governor Sule and Tinibu’s government in what ever capacity or responsibility assign to to them, adding that, they were willing to key into the policy objectives of the present government.
“We supported them considering their pedigree, Tinubu has interest in politics for a long time. He has remain patient and supportive to any government that came on board under his party and
of course the same thing with gov. Sule. I see no reason why we should not support them.
“If that is the case, what ever responsibility given to us, in which ever capacity whether in the state or at the federal level we are assign to support the government, we are ready and willing to do it and key into the policy objective of the government those are my driving force”.
Magaji added that” President Tinubu came with the mantra of ‘renewed’ hope it has characterise itself. The hope of Nigerians is being renewed with the display of administrative acumen by Mr. President, everyone is happy that the government is on the right track. So, we really hope that Nigeria will get back at it again”; he added.
The legal luminary adviced Tinubu and Sule to bring on board young individuals with high intellectualism to help drive the wonderful agenda of their governments.
