Prof. Siyan Oyeweso, congratulates Sen. Ajibola Basiru on his emergence as the National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC). 

The National Executive Council of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Thursday confirmed the former Governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje, as the national chairman of the party alongside Sen. Ajibola Basiru as the national secretary of the party.

Prof. Oyeweso while applauding the former Spokesperson of the 9th Nigerian Senate Assembly, said the appointment is based on the recognition of his competence.

“The appointment is not just a reward for your staunch dedication and commitment to democratic ideals of the party, it is also a recognition of your competence and good leadership qualities.”

“Over the years, you have distinguished yourself as a man of courage, can-do spirit, and immense capacity to succeed against all odds. These qualities were manifested in your sterling performance as a two-term Commissioner in Osun State and as a Distinguished Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, representing the good people of Osun Central Senatorial District”.

“It is on good record that as a first-timer in the hallowed Chamber, you made phenomenal contributions as the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Diaspora, Non-Governmental Organizations and Civil Societies.”

“You also served with honour and distinction as a member of various Senate Committees including Judiciary Human Rights and Legal Matters; Air Force; Downstream Petroleum Sector and Petroleum Resources; among others. You also meritoriously served as the Chairman of the 9th Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, a position which placed you as the official Spokesperson of the 9th Nigerian Senate”.

Prof Oyeweso urges him to use his offices to reposition and strengthen the party in Osun State, he concluded.
