A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Nasarawa State, Barr. Labaran Magaji expressed his conviction that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s blueprint, the “Renewed Hope,” has the potential to address the current situation in the country.
This conviction led him to donate all his campaign structures, including large followers, campaign offices, and other materials, to the presidential campaign, even after losing the party’s 2022 senatorial primary election.
Magaji also mentioned that he did the same for Governor Abdullahi Sule due to the accomplishments he has achieved in Nasarawa State within just four years. He shared these remarks in an exclusive interview with the Nigerian Tribune in Lafia.
Magaji, who hails from the Toto Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, aspired to represent the Nasarawa West senatorial district, comprising Keffi, Kokona, Nasarawa, Toto, and Karu Local Governments, under the APC platform but was defeated by his opponent in the primary election.
He emphasized that President Tinubu has been supportive of successive governments in the country, and both his track record and policy documents demonstrate his ability to deliver.
“After studying the manifestos and the ‘Renewed Hope’ agenda of President Tinubu, as well as the policy objectives of our Governor Engr. Abdullahi A. Sule, my team and I were convinced that they would both deliver,” Magaji explained.
“Even after losing the primaries, we donated all our campaign materials and mobilized our supporters to align with the progress of Bola Ahmed Tinubu and His Excellency Engr. Abdullahi A. Sule. In the end, we achieved remarkable success in all our endeavours,” he added.
Magaji acknowledged that although there were distractions in the presidential election, including religious politics, APC ultimately emerged victorious.
“While there were distractions arising from the introduction of religious politics and other sentiments that caused a minor setback in the presidential election, we still performed remarkably well in our respective local governments, wards, and polling units to deliver Mr President and Gov. Abdullahi Sule, both of whom belong to the APC,” he stated.
Magaji expressed appreciation to the president for appointing Senator George Akume as the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) and advised him to also appoint young individuals with high intellectual capacity to assist in driving the government’s agenda.
As a former aspirant for the Nasarawa West senatorial district, Magaji affirmed that his team is ready to assist Governor Sule and Tinubu’s government in any capacity or responsibility assigned to them. They are willing to align with the policy objectives of the present government.
“We are ready and willing to support the government in whatever capacity or responsibility given to us, whether at the state or federal level. We are driven by our belief in their pedigree. Tinubu has shown interest in politics for a long time and has been patient and supportive of any government under his party. The same applies to Gov. Sule. So, there is no reason why we should not support them,” he stated.
Magaji further advised Tinubu and Sule to include young individuals with high intellectual capacity to assist in driving their government’s agenda. He commended President Tinubu’s “Renewed Hope” mantra, stating that Nigerians are hopeful for a better future with the display of administrative acumen by the president.
“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 on track again,” Magaji concluded.
