APC GOVERNORS WILL SECURE TINUBU’S RE-ELECTION- UZODINMA

“We work with our party, the APC, and with other leaders of the party, where the governors will lead the campaign and the election proper,” he added.

In his remarks, the Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, also said governors would lead the campaign efforts in their respective states.

“Elections are not in Abuja. They are at the states. So the governors take the lead in this campaign at the various states, and the campaign council is going to look into it, and they will do whatever it is that needs to be done to make sure that is done,” he said.

On the political front, Uzodinma disclosed that President Tinubu formally briefed the governors on the constitution of the Presidential Campaign Council, a development he said was received with total agreement.

Uzodinma said the meeting also focused on governance, with discussions centred largely on reducing the cost of living for Nigerians.

He explained, “We spoke basically on two issues: one, politics, and the other, governance.

“Governance, which took most of the time, is about how to reduce the cost of living in Nigeria, the cost of transportation, food security, agriculture, bringing prosperity to the people, ensuring that the dividends of the various reforms we have gotten over the years trickle down to the people, so the people can feel it.”

He said the governors also carried out an impact assessment of the reforms and identified areas requiring improvement, expressing satisfaction with the discussions.

“All the governors of the states were very happy about that,” he said.

Sule said Tinubu also emphasised the utilisation of the country’s gas resources.

“My own amazement is actually the amount of knowledge that Mr President has about gas in this country.

“The President spoke at length about gas utilisation, especially in the area of CNG, and Mr President has committed a lot of resources, exactly how much it is going to take to invest when it comes to gas utilisation in the country.

“Those are the types of things that Mr President discussed in detail,” Sule said.

He explained that the President repeatedly emphasised party unity, national unity and poverty reduction as central priorities for governors going forward.
