The National Executive Committee (NEC) of the All-Progressives Congress (APC), at its meeting on Wednesday in Abuja, passed a vote of confidence in President Bola Tinubu.
The motion was moved by Gov. Hope Uzodinma of Imo and seconded by Sen. Adams Oshihomole, a former APC National Chairman and one time Edo governor.
The NEC also zoned the party’s national chairmanship position to the North West.
President Tinubu said the commendation from the party’s highest decision-making organ was a call for more hard work, and promised not to fail the party faithful.
“I am happy with your vote of confidence, and I accept it. The vote is a challenge to do more work; we will vigorously pursue our sovereignty in food security, investment and development.
“I am happy with food prices coming down, especially as Ramadan approaches. The Sun is high, and the sky is bright outside.
“While the rest of the world unravels, we see growth in Nigeria. We are seeing a gradual return to stability. We are seeing improvements. I thank you, governors, ” President Tinubu said.
Tinubu thanked Nigerians for their continued belief and trust in the APC.
He pledged to continue working assiduously with other arms of government to ensure the greater good for Nigerians and commended APC governors and executives for their continued and unwavering commitment.
“I’m grateful to all Nigerians for the electoral successes recorded from one state to the other. Governors, you have embraced these changes, and I thank the leadership of our party. I also thank members of the National Assembly for expeditiously considering the budget.
“We can only build the party on a progressive platform to deliver good service to Nigerians,” he said.
The President also commended the party’s National Working Committee for its performance and called for measures to end some of the crises in the states.
