The All Progressives Congress (APC), which President Muhammadu Buhari urged Nigerians to emulate the progressive DNA credentials of the Governor Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi State and the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr. Yakubu Dogara.
The party gave the commendation while celebrating the duo who clocked 59 and 53 years respectively even as it urged Nigerians to emulate their traits.
In a goodwill message signed by the Secretary to the Caretaker/ Emergency Convention Planning Committee, Senator John Akpanudoedehe, extolled the great qualities of the two party chieftains.
“In the governance of Kebbi State and contributions to the growth of the APC and the PGF he leads, Governor Bagudu has displayed uncommon vision and participatory leadership which has positively impacted on the human capital development of the state and strengthened the party and PGF, in line with its progressive ideals.
“In his exemplary private and public dealings, the APC is proud to identify with Dogara who has shown himself as a patriotic and grassroot politician. Dogara has constantly displayed time-honoured attributes of decency, transparency, hard work, Integrity and a people-centric posture.
“Undoubtedly, Dogara’s recent return to the APC is a major signpost that the Governor Mai Mala Buni-led Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) is achieving its core mandate to reposition the party, address grievances and achieve true reconciliations across party ranks.
The party prayed for Bagudu and Dogara’s good health and wisdom to undertake their public and private endeavours while expressing confidence that they will be always ready to undertake assignments to reposition and strengthen our great party.
