APC dissolves Presidential Campaign Council

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) has been dissolved.

Plateau State Governor and Chairman of the APC PCC, Simon Lalong and Secretary of the team, Honourable James Faleke disclosed this in a joint statement at the weekend.

Checks revealed that the PCC which operated from a separate secretariat from the party national secretariat was created to drive the campaign of the President-elect, Bola Tinubu.

In the joint statement, the PCC
on behalf of its chairman, President Muhammadu Buhari; the president-elect, Bola Tinubu and other leaders, thanked all council members, leaders and supporters for working assiduously for the resounding victory of the president-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

The duo of Governor Lalong and Faleke noted that the dissolution became necessary to enable party chieftains focus their attention on the inauguration of President-elect, Tinubu’s administration.

The statement reads in part:”
“Since the campaign council began in September 2022, we have witnessed an unprecedented, relentless, and engaging mobilisation of our members nationwide and in the diaspora towards securing the majority popular votes for the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential ticket. The journey has been a worthy one with our hard-won victory. The credit goes to all our members particularly, the leaders and members of the various campaign directorates.

“We would like to express our deepest appreciation to President Muhammadu Buhari (GCFR), for his unwavering support and leadership throughout the campaign. We could not have achieved this level of success without his single-mindedness, commitment, and forthrightness.
“However, we have concluded that it is in the best interest of the campaign and its stakeholders for us to dissolve our council with immediate effect. This has become necessary to retune us towards the May 29, 2023, inauguration of the President-elect Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration. The process of transitioning into a new era of a Renewed Hope is underway and all our energies and activities must reflect the principles underlying this process.

“We hope that you will all continue to stay involved in Nigeria’s political process and to advocate for issues that you believe in. Our democracy is stronger when we all participate in the political process with patriotism.We would like to take this opportunity to thank you once again for your support, dedication, and hard work.”
