Peaceful Handover: Benjamin Kalu Commends Oyegun, Drums Support For Oshiomhole

 

A chieftain of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abia state Barr. Benjamin Okezie Kalu has commended the former chairman of the party Chief John Odigie-Oyegun for saving the party from disintegration and the peaceful manner he handed over power to the new chairman of the party.

In a statement made available to Abia Breaking News, he said “Our father H.E John Odigie Oyegun, played a wonderful role in steering the party from disintegration, he stood by the President through thick and thin breaching gaps for the party to stay the course. I hope both the presidency and the Party will reward him for his good leadership and undivided loyalty.

“The honourable manner he handed over the baton to his younger brother without any struggle is an evidence of true “partymanship “ upholding the supremacy of the party higher than personal interest. The chain of confidence from the President to the Executive Governors and the National Convention delegates is a reflection of the greatness that has been found in the former labour leader and Executive Governor.

“We are not in doubt that great men around him , whom we saw him paying courtesy calls to and receiving in his office prior to the convention will support his administration across the entire geopolitical zones in Nigeria to achieve the desired result”.

The Bende Federal Constituency aspirant aspirant also highlighted ten (10) key areas the Oshiomhole-led national executive of APC should show much commitment to.

“The expectations are high in the following areas;
” To join his reconciliatory skills with that of the Chairman reconciliation committee to address the recent concerns of the aggrieved party leaders across the nation. He should enlarge the number of the committee members who should be selected from their different stake holding points.

” The need for a bridge between the executives and the legislative arm of government need to be worked on in a more overt manner. The party leadership in both the upper and the lower house must be properly engaged with this target in mind.

” The need to run a couple of in-house trainings for both the LGA and the State Executives of the party to highlight the demands of the various offices.

” The need to properly fund the state and LGA offices of the party with a focused monitoring to ensure full commitment of the officers to the objectives of the party. Especially in all opposition governed states.

” The need to reclaim all the Niger delta states for APC should be on top of the priority list. The burden to see that this is fully done is on the shoulders of the chairman as a true son of Niger Delta and that of the current governors.

“The right strategy to change the narratives in the geo political regions that performed less in 2015 should be in place while those that performed well should be sustained to get better result.

” Programs and projects should be used as marketing tools especially in those areas in need of solid Party penetration.

“ A strong support to stop the killings of innocent Nigerians is the best way to show the party under his care truly cares for human lives. We are all murderers if we fail to use our God given powers to stop this mess in what ever name it is labelled . In his time the number of graves should no longer be higher than the number of homes. He should make the government rise up more to this responsibility of protecting lives and properties. We can do more than this and we should”.

” Support the presidency to involve more youths in the configuration of his executive with important portfolios to convince the nation with the the commitment of the party to the repositioning of the youths in political leadership.

“Extend the frontiers of the political party globally by initiating the APC Diaspora Desk to oversea the opening of party chapters and branches outside the shores of Nigeria. APC international chapters will give the Nigerians in diaspora a voice and recognition . This will give them a sense of belonging in our efforts for national development, present them as the ambassadors of our party abroad who will lobby and draw in more Foreign Direct Investments” he concluded.
