From Romanus Ugwu, Abuja
Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Campaign Council for Osun State off-cycle governorship election, Governor Hope Uzodimma, has said the poll is a must win.
Uzodimma, governor of Imo State, made the declaration during the inaugural meeting of the committee in Abuja yesterday.
The chairman APC Progressive Governors Forum (PGF) also gave the leadership of the campaign subcommittees 72-hour ultimatum to submit their ideas and proposals to the Campaign Council Secretary, Senator Barau Jubrin.
“The plan is to go and support our brothers and sisters in Osun State to win the forthcoming election. This meeting is not for merrymaking. It is not for any jamboree.
“It is for people to come and offer service. The third is to officially, like you must have known, that all of us here belong to one subcommittee or the other,” he noted in his introductory remarks.
Handing an ultimatum to the subcommittees, he said: “We want to officially mandate all the subcommittees to meet as soon as possible, between now and Thursday, and bring up ideas and services they think they can render to ensure that our task is made easier.”
“And what is their task? To win the governorship election in Osun State. Any other thing will be left till after the elections. But the most important things are things that will make us win the election properly.
“I therefore urge all the chairmen of all the subcommittees to submit to the national secretary of this committee all their resolutions and proposals that will enable them to work, and where they think the Central Working Committee will help them to be able to actualize their mission.
“We have only one mission, to win the election. Everything can come after the elections. The finance subcommittee is mandated to collect all contributions from willing members and non-members who want to make contributions to the Osun governorship election,” he mandated.
