The leadership of APC Professionals Council on Sunday launched what it called operation deliver-your-polling-unit ahead the Feb. 25 presidential and National Assembly as well as the March 11 governorship and state assembly elections.
The council urged members to ensure that they secure victory for the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu at their various polling units across the country.
Tinubu is expected to test his popularity with the PDP presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, his Labour Party counterpart Mr. Peter Obi and Musa Kwankwaso of the NNPP at the poll.
At the launch of the campaign in Ibadan, Oyo State capital on Sunday, the National Director General of APC Professionals Council, Amb. Seyi Bamigbade told state and local government coordinators of the council to take the message to their wards and villages and ensure that APC secures victory at the polling units which according to him will guarantee victory at national level for Tinubu.
He said, “The upcoming elections is about our future as youths of this country. Go out there and take the message of renewed hope to your friends, family and neighbours, tell them what His Excellency Bola Tinubu represents in efforts to make life more livable for them.
“It is an election that will once again put our nation on the path of prosperity and growth. Ensure you vote peacefully for our candidates across board and protect your votes.
“Make sure you are not shortchanged and that no one subverts the will of the people. We are on a path for a great history and collectively we must be vigilant to be part of this great future”, he said.
Responding on behalf of the state coordinators, the Borno state Coordinator of APC Professionals Council, Dr. Abdilkarim Gidado thanked the national leadership of the council for the initiative which he said is timely.
He assured that the local government coordinators under him will be duly mobilized to ensure that the message trickles down to the wards and polling units, assuring it will be easy win for APC going by the nationwide support Bola Tinubu has garnered since his emergence as the APC presidential candidate last year.
