Our responsibility is to deliver Taraba State for APC in 2023 elections – Sambo
“Our responsibility is to deliver Taraba State for the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the coming elections”.
Above, were the words of Honourable Minister of Transportation, Engr. Mu’azu Jaji Sambo, during inauguration of
Tinubu /Shettima Presidential Campaign Council Structure in Taraba State.
He added : “At the Instance of our great party APC, we have been saddled with the responsibility of conducting an effective, message-driven campaign, leading to Tinubu/Shettima’s ticket victory in 2023 presidential election.
“Albeit, despite the title ‘Presidential Campaign Council’ in its official name, our responsibility is to deliver Taraba State for the APC in the coming election, from the councillor at the ward level to the Presidential Flag bearer.”
According to him,
“In the real sense, a victory for the presidential candidate alone won’t suffice and bring the coveted development to our dear state, but it will make more sense if we have an APC President, an APC Governor, APC Senators from our Senatorial Districts, APC House of Representative Members, APC State House of Assembly Members, APC Local Government Chairmen and APC Councillors.
“Therefore, in the spirit of our party symbol ‘the Broom’ which symbolizes unity and togetherness, I call on you all irrespective of our faith, beliefs, and ideology to make this happen”.
The Minister informed; “You will all remember, months before we arrive at this inauguration structure, we sent letters to every of our party stakeholders to nominate people, who will be part of this structure, I must thank those who cooperated and thank those who didn’t as well, the structure we have today was birthed after a wide consultation and involvement of all our party stakeholders.
“The Campaign structure is divided into three Major Categories: The Campaign Management Council, the Campaign Advisory Council, and the State Campaign Council. The Campaign Management Council, which is purely administrative Constitutes the State Coordinator, the Deputy State Coordinator, the three Zonal Coordinators, the Council’s Secretary/Legal Advisers, the treasurer, the Youth leader, the Organizing Secretary, the Public Relation Officer, the Women Leader, the Youth Leader, the Leader of the Disabled and the Organizing Secretary.
“Also, the Campaign Advisory Council constitutes all former Governors, who are members of the Party, all former deputy Governors, who are members of our party, all serving and former Senators, who are members of the party, all serving and former members of the House of Representatives, who are members of the party, all Ministers and former Ministers, who are members of the party, all serving Ambassadors and former Ambassadors, who are members of the party, all members of the National Excos and the State Chairman of the party.
“The State Campaign Council constitutes all Aspirants – Gubernatorial, Senatorial, House of Representatives and State Excos of our party. I am glad to say everyone in these categories has been written to and majority have accepted, birthing this inauguration today.”
He went on; “Furthermore, the task ahead may appear daunting; they might seem like a burden too great to bear. But we must not, even for a moment, abdicate our duties to work together to restore this dear land of ours for the sake of our nation, the sake of our children and the sake of future generations.
“I wish to congratulate all the men and women nominated to serve in the Campaign Council. You have been selected from among the millions of our party members to join this esteemed council because of your past contributions to the party and your commitment to our party unity.
“Naturally, not all members of our party can be in the Presidential Campaign Council. But every single member of the Taraba State APC is an important member of the party and each one of you is still entrusted with the responsibility of leading our party to victory in next year’s elections. Those of you who have not found yourselves in the State Presidential Campaign Council is just as important as those who have, and we do not take your contributions for granted”.
He emphasised; “Finally, I call us all to Unity. Party members and Tarabans at large, Sons and daughters of my fatherland, we are Nature’s gift to the nations.
“The coming days are pivotal in the history of our dear country. This is a call to purpose. Let us come together as one. Let’s sheath our sword, let’s put aside our differences. We cannot be separated in interest or divided in purpose, we are only as strong as we are united. Let’s put6 aside tribal sentiments, religious beliefs, personal interests, and embrace the ideals of genuine brotherhood and nation-building. You are first my brother before any other thing. You are the son of my mother, the daughter of my father, my kinsman.
“Let the Mumuye, the Jukuns, the Fulani, the itchens, the Hausas and every tongue in Taraba come together as one. Let the Pastors henceforth Preach it loud from their Pulpits Let the Imams tell it daily to all worshippers in the mosques. Let the fathers sing it to the ears of their sons and daughters. Let’s tell it even to our Children unborn – THE UNITY OF TARABA IS NON-NEGOTIABLE.
“I am committed to this cause
We can’t all be alike, we can’t all be the same and our beauty is in our diversity. Therefore, as a Progressive,
Join me to deliver Taraba state for Tinubu/Shettima and the All Progressives Congress come 2023.
“In the spirit of our party’s symbol, the ‘broom’, let’s work with all stakeholders, strengthening existing structures and building new ones where necessary. I am a firm believer in the ideals of our great Nation and Party I believe the Sun will yet rise on the Mambilla. Join me as I deliver on this mandate. God bless President Muhammadu Buhari
