Edo Sate Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has reacted to the election of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
He also saluted the immediate past National Chairman of the party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, for providing purposeful leadership that brought the ruling party to power after defeating the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the 2015 general elections
He said, “We are very proud of Comrade Oshiomhole’s emergence as the National Chairman of our great party, the APC.
“He is adequately equipped to foster unity and provide a new direction for the party, as we move closer to the general elections in 2019.”
He said Odigie-Oyegun was a worthy leader with honour, adding, “Chief John Odigie-Oyegun’s impressive rise to prominence was the product of a combination of hard work, humility and faith in God.
“From his humble background, he was taught the inestimable value of hard work, integrity and a good name.
“In the federal civil service, Chief Odigie-Oyegun distinguished himself and was propelled to the enviable position of a federal permanent secretary.
“Chief Odigie-Oyegun’s forthrightness, civility and decorousness garnered from his impressive years of service to our great country in the civil service, marked him out for higher national call to serve our country after his retirement from the federal civil service.
“These sterling qualities earned him the confidence of Edo people, when they turned out in their numbers to entrust him with their mandate as the first Governor of Edo State, in the aborted third Republic, from 1992-1993.
“As a loyal and dedicated party man, his leadership qualities earned him the position of the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and under his leadership, the APC grew into the largest party in Nigeria and displaced the then ruling party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from power at the center, through popular vote in the 2015 presidential election.”
