President Bola Tinubu has assured the Chairman of Progressives Governors’ Forum (PGF) and Imo State Governor, Sen. Hope Uzodimma, that he will not take the trust he has for him lightly, promising to do what is within his behest to keep earning Uzodimma’s trust.
President Tinubu, who spoke at the inauguration of members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) at the State House, Aso Rock, Abuja on Wednesday, paid glowing tribute to Uzodimma who, incidentally, is the Secretary of PCC, for the huge contributions the Imo State Governor had made for the APC-led government.
These were contained in a press statement signed by Special Adviser (Media) to the governor, Mr. Oguwike Nwachuku, and made available to People&Politics Wednesday night.
Nwachuku quoted President Tinubu as saying that Gov. Uzodimma’s commitments and contributions to the party, the government and the country could not be forgotten in a hurry, particularly by himself.
Tinubu’s speech, marked by warmth and appreciation at the inauguration read, in part: “I thank the Council Secretary and the Chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum, Governor Hope Uzodimma, for all the commendable things you have done.
“I do not take your trust lightly, and by the grace of God, I intend to keep earning it. Earning your trust is extremely important to me.”
President Tinubu took time to appreciate all members of the PCC, the entire APC family as well as his personal supporters from other political parties and challenged everyone to continue with the work they began in 2023 when he was first elected, until he is reelected come January next year.
The President also hinted that he may not be everywhere in the country for electioneering because he trusts the ability and capabilities of his lieutenants to deliver his message of Renewed Hope and Shared Prosperity to Nigerians.
Governor Uzodimma had earlier in his remarks beckoned on the President to trust the APC Governors with the responsibility of electioneering, to do the needful as they traverse the nooks and crannies of the country to galvanize support and canvass for votes for all candidates of the party in the election.
Uzodimma reiterated that he is confident that President Tinubu has, with his reforms and other verifiable achievements, given the PCC and all APC members enough raw materials to campaign at the polling units, wards, Local Government Areas and States, and win convincingly in January.
