Governors of the All Progressives Congress APC have renewed their allegiance to President Muhammadu Buhari, declaring that they shall continue to triumph over challenges in their various states under his guidance and leadership.
This is according to a statement issued Friday in Abuja and signed by Chairman of the Progressive Governors’ Forum PGF and Kebbi state Governor Abubakar Atiku Bagudu on the 79th birthday of the president. The governors equally hailed their counterpart in Niger, Abubakar Sani Bello, on his 54th birthday, saying he symbolizes the APC success story.
Bagudu said, “The Progressive Governors Forum joins His Excellency President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and his family to celebrate his 79th birthday. Together with all Nigerians, celebrate this special day with you and your family.
“We acknowledge and commend your leadership, vision and commitment to a united, prosperous Nigeria. In the last few years, the world has been challenging. We are confident that we shall continue to triumph over our challenges while progressing to a more robust, prosperous, and more peaceful nation under your leadership. We wish you a happy birthday and say a big thank you for your selfless service to our dear country; we reaffirm our commitment to work under your leadership. We will work with abiding faith and belief that the initiatives of our APC Federal Government will meet all the expectations of Nigerians.
“We are very proud of your patriotic leadership. You are our role model and a source of inspiration”.
The Governors said, “We in particular wish to acknowledge and commend your leadership, vision and commitment to a united, prosperous Nigeria, under the supervision of our party, APC.
“We acknowledge your contributions to our team of Progressive Governors through your insightful and resolute inputs to the processes of managing governance in Niger State as well as at the national level. As Governor of Niger State, through all the development initiatives implemented by your APC led government, you symbolize the success story of our party, APC.
“As we rejoice with Abubakar Sani Bello, we also reaffirmed our collective commitment to implement programmes that would strengthen the capacities of our progressive states to create jobs, stimulate economic activity, reduce inequality and diminish poverty in Nigeria.”
