ABUJA-The leadership of the All Progressives Congress
(APC) in South Africa has counselled members of the ruling party in
the National Assembly to obey the party leadership directive by
voting for the candidates adopted as Senate President and Speaker by
the party in the 9th Assembly election.
It
explained that voting for the choice of the party would enhance the
performance of President Muhammadu Buhari in the next four
years.
The
party stated this in a statement signed by its Publicity Secretary,
Comrade Sanni David, after a gala night and dinner, organised in
South Africa to celebrate the victory of the APC in the just
concluded general elections. According to the statement, the Chairman
of the APC in SA, Chairman Engr Bola Babarinde, commended the
leadership style of the national chairman of the APC, Comrade Adams
Oshiomhole, saying that the reforms he embarked upon are yielding
positive fruits.
He said, ” we are glad with the reforms going on in the party. We see a situation where party discipline is being entrenched. No ruling political party can succeed without discipline and that is why we are proud of the current leadership led by Oshiomhole.
“So
we urge our elected National Assembly members to toe the line of the
party when electing their leadership because without the party there
will be no candidate especially when the constitution has not
provided for independent candidates” it stated. Woman leader of the
party in SA, Pastor Mrs Gladys Adebukola Adunola, urged President
Muhammadu Buhari to consolidate on the achievements made in his first
tenure, adding that Nigerians are expecting improved welfare package
in his second term. She also called on the incoming 9th Assembly to
use the APC majority to ensure the speedy passage of the Diaspora
voting bill just as she commended President Buhari on the war against
corruption and insurgency
