Tinubu/Shettima already coasting home to victory – Wase

The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Ahmed Idris Wase, has declared that the All Progressives Congress (APC) “is safely in the driving seat to victory in the 2023 general elections with the Tinubu/Shettima ticket.”

Wase congratulated the Plateau state governor, Simon Lalong, on his appointment as the director-general of the Presidential Campaign Organisation of APC candidate, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu.

Wase, in a statement by his chief press secretary, Umar Muhammad Puma, hailed the choice of Lalong, saying he was most competent and fit to lead the campaign of the APC presidential candidate.

He described Lalong as “detribalised, very resourceful, ingenious and practical politician, an adept listener and a leader with the right attitude to grind out results where others cannot succeed.”

He said, “I wish to heartily congratulate my leader and governor, the executive governor of Plateau state, His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Simon Lalong, on his well-deserved appointment and unveiling as the director-general of the Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu’s Presidential Campaign.

“There could not have been a better choice than this. Governor Lalong has over the years proven beyond reasonable doubts that he is a unifier, a strategist, a mobiliser, a team-player and a leader per excellence in his almost eight years as governor of Plateau state.

“His mettle and as chairman of the Northern Governor’s Forum, his footprints are indelible. I am very confident that as Director General, he will replicate his enviable records and lead the campaign from the front and ultimately lead the party to victory.

“Your Excellency, I wish you God’s guidance and resounding success in this onerous but surmountable assignment. My constituents and people of Plateau are indeed proud of you and would

give you the needed support to deliver.”

“With Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and his running mate, Shettima on the ballot and Lalong in the driving seat, the APC is on the right path to victory come February 2023”.

He thanked the presidential candidate and the national chairman of the party for the confidence reposed in the Plateau Governor to lead his campaign saying, “A good product needs a great strategist to deliver.”
