Adamawa APC Endorses Atiku For President

All Progressives Congress (APC) in Adamawa state has endorsed the candidacy of Atiku Abubakar for the 2015 Presidential election of Nigeria on the platform of the party
At a news conference today in Yola, capital of Adamawa state, the state Chairman of APC, Hon. Binta Masi Kwaji said that the state executive committee of the party has thrown its weight behind Atiku Abubakar for the APC presidential primary.
“Atiku Abubakar is not just a son of Adamawa State. The
Turaki Adamawa is well-known and well-respected across the six geopolitical zones of our great country, Nigeria. His marriage and business ties cut across tribe and tongue, as do his philanthropy and social obligations.”
The chairman noted that only few politicians can lay claim to such personal and leadership qualities, especially in what she called “the deeply-divided Nigeria we have today.
“We are proud of the outstanding leadership role Atiku Abubakar has played in this country over the past 15 years of democracy, both within and outside government. He has shone as a bridge-builder, stepping in during times of discord to mediate peace within and outside the APC. Without antagonism or malice, he has consistently lent his voice to pressing national issues, offering counsel to the Federal Government at times when those at the top were clueless about what steps to take.”
She described Atiku Abubakar as a leader with a difference, adding that he is a man of the people.
“Without the least meaning to diminish his national and global stature, it is on records that Atiku as an individual has done more to develop Adamawa State than any indigene of the state that is living or dead. His university, the American University of Nigeria has put our state and the whole country on the world’s map of quality education.”
Binta Masi said that Atiku ranks as the highest employer of labour through his many businesses and industrial establishments.
She said that the people of Adamawa state are proud of Atiku on the great strides he had made in areas such as job creation, improvement of the economy, education, infrastructure, transparency in government and the overall welfare of Nigerians.
She said that it was on this note that the entire members of the State Executive Committee supported by the party chairmen in all the local government areas representing the APC in Adamawa State have decided to endorse the
Turaki Adamawa for the 2015 Presidential elections.
“Following a meeting of the party executives yesterday evening, we unanimously resolved that we will give him our full backing towards realizing his ambitions to create a Nigeria for all.
“The party, therefore, urges all APC faithful in the state to support this gesture and also give Atiku Abubakar their full backing. The people of Adamawa must unite to ensure that the 2015 elections bring about the change that we all seek.”  [myad]
