Stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Nasarawa State have named and officially endorsed Aliyu Bello, the former party secretary, as their new chairman.
The party leaders made this choice after the former APC Chairman, John Mamman, was appointed as a Commissioner and member of the State Executive Council.
Bello announced the news to journalists at the party’s secretariat in Lafia on Tuesday.
He added, “This development of course also necessitated my having to vacate my seat as the state party secretary, which I occupied for years and am now taken over by an experienced retired civil servant and also a politician of great worth, in the person of Mr Yairus G. Dagusa.”
“I appreciate the leader of the party in the state, His Excellency Abdullahi Sule, the members of the State Executive Council, and the entire members of the APC for the confidence reposed in me.”
“I intend to follow in the footsteps of my predecessors by ensuring teamwork and synergy among officials of the party at all levels. I promise to deploy and utilize all my many years of experience in party politics to sustain and boost the popularity of the APC, particularly in Nasarawa State and the country in general. I shall not falter or disappoint you.”
