Tinubu tasks new APC NWC members on commitment to party ideals
Add us on Google President Bola Tinubu has charged national officers who were elected into the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Working Committee (NWC) to carry the trust with humility, fairness, and unwavering commitment. He gave the charge on Friday in Abuja at the party’s National Convention organised to elect new national officers into the party’s NWC. The theme of the convention is “Unity in Progress: Consolidating the Renewed Hope Agenda”. Mr Tinubu said unity in progress, as the main theme of the convention, was a potent and timely reminder that progress was impossible without unity. “To all those who will be elected today: carry this trust with humility, fairness, and unwavering commitment to our party’s ideals. “The future of APC, and Nigeria’s democracy, depends on your leadership. Lead with courage, lead with integrity, and lead with vision. “May your leadership inspire confidence, strengthen unity, and deliver progress worthy of the faith our members have placed in you,” he said. Mr Tinubu prayed that they continued to win more converts into the party as had been done in the last two years. This, he said, was especially as an unprecedented number of new members, governors, senators, and representatives joined its fold from other political parties. The president said the party’s growth demonstrated the strength of its beliefs and Nigerians’ trust in it. He charged those that would be elected to sustain the party’s expansive political structure through credible leadership and transparent party management. This, he said, should be anchored in a reliable, verifiable database of its members nationwide.
