As the crisis bedevilling the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) deepens, the Equality Movement (TEM) has drummed its support for Duro Meseko as the proposed Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the APC.
This was even as it called for calm among APC members in Kogi State.
In a statement made available to newsmen in Kaduna on Friday, the Leader of the Movement, Alhaji Mohammed Yusuf Ajiji, extolled the qualities of Hon. Meseko, saying he is a consummate media and publicity manager as well as a politician of repute.
“Two days ago, the media was awash with sponsored reports of the protests against the nomination of Hon. Duro Meseko to serve as the Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the APC.
“Truth be told, Hon. Meseko is an accomplished politician and a chieftain of the APC, who served as a member of the House of Representatives and has acquitted himself creditably in service to the nation, Kogi State in particular, and the APC in general”. The statement said
Ajiji noted that beyond politics, Meseko has hands-on experience in media and publicity management, serving as the Chief Executive Officer of Dgovscoops Communications Limited.
He therefore called on APC members in Kogi to rally around and ensure the actualization of Meseko as the National Deputy Publicity Secretary of the APC.
“We have also noticed how some political jobbers and hired protesters have been trying very hard to tarnish the image of the Kogi APC Leader, Hon. James Faleke.
We urge them to desist forthwith, as Hon. Faleke is an APC national political leader in his own right”, The statement said
“It is a known fact that Hon. Faleke is a veteran and ranking member of the House of Representatives who served Nigeria and the APC in different capacities; hence, he should be accorded some modicum of respect.
“For those dragging the name of Hon. Faleke in the mud, lest they forget that he was the Deputy Governorship Candidate to the late Prince Abubakar Audu, who fought and won the governorship election for the APC in Kogi State before death robbed them of victory”, The statement was added.
