APC governors supporting Abbas, Kalu

The Governors on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) under the aegis of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF) yesterday reiterated their backing for the endorsement of chieftains for National Assembly presiding offices

He said the party has made the best choice for the National Assembly. 

The leadership of the party had endorsed Tajudeen Abbas from Kaduna State and Benjamin Kalu from Abia State as their preferred candidates for Speaker and Deputy Speaker respectively. 

Uzodimma said the least the governors should do is to ensure that the party’s preference and vision is actualised come June 13th.

He commended members of the coalition who are drawn from the eight political parties that won seats in the 10th House, saying they made the right decision to support the joint ticket.

Uzodimma said: “I congratulate you once more for the success you achieve in the last election and for coming together to form an alliance towards the speakership race. You have taken a good decision to support these two gentlemen. 

What we are practicing today is democracy and APC is the ruling party and you have a responsibility now to help the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to succeed, and we all know that the most sensitive arm of government is the legislature and if we make a mistake with it, the other two arms will be affected.

“If the parliament is right, the government will be right, and I want to urge you to reach out to those who are aggrieved to persuade them to see the reason to agree with us.
