Adamu, APC chairman
Osun State Governor, Adegboyega Oyetola, has congratulated the new National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Abdullahi Adamu and his National Secretary, Iyiola Omisore over their emergence as members of the new National Working Committee of the party.
Oyetola who spoke with journalists at the Eagle Square, Abuja, the venue of the Convention, Oyetola hailed the leadership quality of President Muhammadu Buhari and praised him for playing a fatherly role to unite the party in the interest of all.
He said he was of the strong conviction that both top national officers of the party would bring their wealth of experience to bear in the administration and management of the party’s affairs.
Oyetola who also congratulated other newly elected officers of the party described the emergence of Omisore as a round peg in a round hole.
He expressed confidence in the ability of the Ife-born politician to deliver and contribute to the growth of the party through his new position.
According to the Governor, Omisore will deploy his political sagacity, leadership qualities and experience which he acquired in public and private sectors, towards building a virile and healthy party at the centre.
Oyetola also hailed the leadership quality of President Muhammadu Buhari and praised him for playing a fatherly role to unite the party in the interest of all.
“First of all, I must thank our leaders in the South West for their support for our own Senator Iyiola Omisore. This is a great thing for us in Osun APC and I must thank other contestants for conceding and accepting to withdraw from the race. I commend them for the bold step just as I assure them of our support in their time of need. I have no doubt in the capacity of Otunba Omisore to deliver and take our party to a greater level.
“As you can see, the peaceful atmosphere here and the seamless conduct of the convention is a testimony to the strong unity that exists in our party. It is an attestation to the fact that we have our ways of resolving issues without necessarily resorting to conflict.
“Contrary to the negative expectations of some people the convention went peacefully. The security operatives have done wonderfully well. I am really proud of what had happened today, it is a sign that our party is united, formidable and remained indivisible.
“In achieving all these, I must personally commend the leadership quality provided by President Muhammadu Buhari who always advocate for harmony and peace in the party. It is natural to have a disagreement, but what is important is the ability to have a workable mechanism to resolve any crisis without necessarily resorting to rancour.
“I am confident that with the existing unity in the APC, our party will continue to remain in power beyond 2023 by the grace of God,” Oyetola added.
Also speaking, the newly elected APC National Secretary, Senator Omisore expressed gratitude to God, President Muhammadu Buhari, Governor Oyetola, party’s leaders and co-contenders for their unflinching support and confidence reposed in him to serve the party. He promised never to disappoint them.
